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

objectiveThe aim of this study is to clone the LpxA gene of Chlamydia trachomatis and analyze its biological characteristics.

methodsSpecific primers were designed according to the sequence of Ct LpxA gene. LpxA gene was amplified by PCR and connected to pMD18-T vectors. Positive clones were selected for PCR and DNA sequencing. Finally, bioinformatics software was used to analyze the biological properties of LpxA protein.

resultsThe total length of LpxA gene was 840 bp, encoding 280 amino acids. LpxA protein has no signal peptide and was located in bacterial cytoplasm. The prediction of secondary structure showed that the α-helix, extended strand, β-turn and random coil accounted for 19.6%, 32.8%, 11.4% and 36%, respectively. According to the prediction of tertiary structure, three identical LpxA molecules constituted homologous trimers. It was predicted that there were 11 B cell epitopes in LpxA.

conclusionCt Lpxa gene was cloned, and LpxA protein structure and function were predicted.
