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

Prion diseases in sheep and goats are called scrapie and belong to a group of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) caused by the abnormal misfolding of the prion protein encoded by the prion protein gene (PRNP). The shadow of the prion protein gene (SPRN) is the only prion gene family member that shows a protein expression profile similar to that of the PRNP gene in the central nervous system. In addition, genetic susceptibility of the SPRN gene has been reported in variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and scrapie. However, genetic studies of the SPRN gene have not been carried out in Korean native black goats. Here, we investigated the genotype and allele frequencies of SPRN polymorphisms in 213 Korean native black goats and compared these polymorphisms with those previously reported for scrapie-affected animals. We found a total of 6 polymorphisms including 1 nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and 1 synonymous SNP in the open reading frame (ORF) region and 3 SNPs and 1 indel polymorphism (c.495_496insCTCCC) in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) by direct DNA sequencing. A significant difference in the allele frequency of the c.495_496insCTCCC indel polymorphism was found between the Italian scrapie-affected goats and the Korean native black goats (P < 0.001). Furthermore, there was a significant difference in the allele frequencies of the c.495_496insCTCCC indel polymorphism between Italian healthy goats and Korean native black goats (P < 0.001). To evaluate the biological impact of the novel nonsynonymous SNP c.416G > A (Arg139Gln), we carried out PROVEAN analysis. PROVEAN predicted the SNP as 'Neutral' with a score of -0.297. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first genetic study of the SPRN gene in Korean native black goats.
