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

Small ruminants, including sheep and goats are natural hosts of scrapie, and the progression of scrapie pathogenesis is strongly influenced by polymorphisms in the prion protein gene (PRNP). Although Korean native goats have been consumed as meat and health food, the evaluation of the susceptibility to scrapie in these goats has not been performed thus far. Therefore, we investigated the genotype and allele frequencies of PRNP polymorphisms in 211 Korean native goats and compared them with those in scrapie-affected animals from previous studies. We found a total of 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) including 10 nonsynonymous and 2 synonymous SNPs in Korean native goats. Significant differences in allele frequencies of PRNP codons 143 and 146 were found between scrapie-affected goats and Korean native goats (p < 0.01). By contrast, in PRNP codons 168, 211 and 222, there were no significant differences in the genotype and allele frequencies between scrapie-affected animals and Korean native goats. To evaluate structural changes caused by nonsynonymous SNPs, PolyPhen-2, PROVEAN and AMYCO analyses were performed. PolyPhen-2 predicted "possibly damaging" for W102G and R154H, "probably damaging" for G127S. AMYCO predicted relatively low for amyloid propensity of prion protein in Korean native black goats. This is the first study to evaluate the scrapie sensitivity and the first in silico evaluation of nonsynonymous SNPs in Korean native black goats.
