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

Prohibitin (PHB) is an evolutionarily conserved mitochondrial membrane protein. It plays a vital role in cell proteolysis, senescence, and apoptosis and is associated with spermatogenesis and sperm quality control in mammals. To study the characteristics of the PHB gene and its potential roles during spermatogenesis in Boleophthalmus pectinirostris, we cloned a 1153-bp full-length cDNA from the testis of B. pectinirostris with an open reading frame of 816 bp, which encodes 272 amino acid residues. Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis revealed the presence of phb mRNA in all the tissues examined, with higher expression levels found in the testis, kidney, intestine, and muscle tissues. We examined the localization of phb mRNA during spermatogenesis by in situ hybridization (ISH), showing that phb mRNA was distributed in the periphery of the nucleus in primary and secondary spermatocytes. In spermatid and mature sperm, the phb mRNA gradually moved toward one side, where the flagellum is formed. Immunofluorescence (IF) results showed co-localization of the PHB and mitochondria at different stages during spermatogenesis of B. pectinirostris. The signals obtained for PHB decreased as spermatogenesis proceeded; the strongest detection signal was found in secondary spermatocytes, with lower levels of staining in other stages. Additionally, in the mature germ cells, the PHB signals were weak and aggregate in the midpiece of the flagellum.
