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

We isolated and characterized a cDNA clone encoding tropomyosin isoform 2 (TM2) from a mouse fibroblast cDNA library. TM2 was found to contain 284 amino acids and was closely related to the rat smooth and skeletal muscle alpha-TMs and the human fibroblast TM3. The amino acid sequence of TM2 showed a nearly complete match with that of human fibroblast TM3 except for the region from amino acids 189 to 213, the sequence of which was identical to those of rat smooth and skeletal muscle alpha-TMs. These results suggest that TM2 is expressed from the same gene that encodes the smooth muscle alpha-TM, the skeletal muscle alpha-TM, and TM3 via an alternative RNA-splicing mechanism. Comparison of the expression of TM2 mRNA in low-metastatic Lewis lung carcinoma P29 cells and high-metastatic D6 cells revealed that it was significantly less in D6 cells than in P29 cells, supporting our previous observations (K. Takenaga, Y. Nakamura, and S. Sakiyama, Mol. Cell. Biol. 8:3934-3937, 1988) at the protein level.
