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

The amino acid sequence of β(I)-globin chain from Sindhi Krait (Bungarus sindanus sindanus) was determined to study the molecular evolution among snakes. The hemoglobin was isolated from the red blood cells and was analyzed by ion-exchange chromatography (IEX). The crude globin was subjected to reversed phased-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) using C4 column. The N-terminal sequences of intact globin chains and tryptic peptides were determined by Edman degradation in a pulsed liquid gas phase sequencer using an online Phenylthiohydantoin analyzer. Sindhi Krait is expected to express three hemoglobin components that are composed of β(II), β(I), α(D) and α(A)-globin chains, as apparent by IEX, RP-HPLC and N-terminal sequence analyses. Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analyses of β(I) globin chain from Sindhi Krait showed closest relationship with β(I) globin chain from Rattlesnake, Water snake and Indigo snake. Interestingly, comparison of primary sequence of β(I) globin chain of Sindhi Krait with human β chain revealed 63 % similarity along with the retention of all heme contact points. Variations among the two sequences were prominent at αβ contact points and in regions directly not important for function.
