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

Metavinculin, a vinculin related protein found only in muscle, has been prepared in bulk amounts from porcine stomach by a new procedure: the same procedure is applicable to the purification of vinculin from porcine stomach and avian gizzard. A comparison of the mammalian and avian proteins by peptide mapping showed them all to contain a common protease resistant 90 kDa core; however both avian and mammalian vinculins were notably more resistant to proteolysis down to this core than their respective metavinculins. Despite the close similarities in the peptide maps, in molecular weight and amino acid composition neither of the mammalian proteins exhibited the head and tail morphology formerly described for gizzard vinculin and metavinculin; both porcine proteins appeared globular under the electron microscope. From the gross variability in the ratios of metavinculin to vinculin among smooth muscles of different origin as well as from the common detergent-independent solubility properties of both proteins during isolation, it is concluded that vinculin and metavinculin perform duplicatory roles as peripheral membrane components. No definitive evidence for the interaction of either protein with actin filaments was obtained.
