1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Sequence analysis of overlapping fragments from a quail genomic library has revealed a tropomyosin gene consisting of 13 exons spaced over about 18 kilobase pairs of DNA. Skeletal muscle and smooth muscle transcripts share the same 5' untranslated sequence and may initiate from the same promoter. However, the regions encoding amino acids 39-80 and 258-284 are specific to each muscle type. The two sets of exons encoding these regions undergo mutually exclusive alternative splicing in a tissue-specific manner as determined by Northern blots and S1-nuclease protection. Similarly, the 3' ends of the transcripts are different in skeletal muscle and smooth muscle, and each contains two polyadenylation signals which appear to be utilized in vivo. The avian alpha-tropomyosin gene is not expressed in cardiac muscle. The sequence of the gene shows great homology with other muscle-specific tropomyosins and includes a region homologous to the amino terminus of nonmuscle tropomyosins.
