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

To understand the role of CASP9 (Caspase-9) gene products in relation to neuroblastoma disease, we have analyzed the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with this gene. This can help us understand the genetic variations that can alter the function of the gene products. A total of 941 SNPs are investigated for CASP9 gene. To determine whether a non-synonymous SNP (nsSNP) in this gene affects its protein product, we used certain computational tools which predicted one nsSNP, rs1052574, to have deleterious phenotypic effect. This polymorphic variant results in amino acid substitution from leucine to proline at 197 position, i.e., from acyclic amino acid to a 5-membered amino acid which resides in the buried area of the protein with a high level of conservation. This amino acid substitution shows a transition from helix to coil in the mutant protein. Hence, due to the complete alteration in the structural property of the amino acid side chain, the stability of the protein is reduced which may affect the function of CASP9 protein, leading to deregulation of apoptosis and neuroblastoma development.
