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

The shells of window pane oyster Placuna placenta are very thin and exhibit excellent optical transparency and mechanical robustness. However, little is known about the biomineralization-related proteins of the shells of P. placenta. In this work, we report the comprehensive transcriptome of the mantle tissue of P. placenta for the first time. The unigenes of the mantle tissue of P. placenta were annotated by using the public databases such as nr, GO, KOG, KEGG, and Pfam. 24,343 unigenes were annotated according to Pfam database, accounting for 21.48% of the total unigenes. We find that half of the annotated unigenes of the mantle tissue of P. placenta are consistent to the annotated unigenes from pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas according to nr database. The unigene sequence analysis from the mantle tissue of P. placenta indicates that 465,392 potential single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 62,103 potential indel markers were identified from 60,371 unigenes. 178 unigenes of the mantle tissue of P. placenta are found to be homologous to those reported proteins related to the biomineralization process of molluscan shells, while 18 of them are highly expressed unigenes in the mantle tissue. It is proposed that four unigenes with the highest expression levels in the mantle tissue are very often related to the biomineralization process, while another three unigenes are potentially related to the biomineralization process according to the Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis. In summary, the transcriptome analysis of the mantle tissue of P. Placenta shows the potential biomineralization-related proteins and this work may shed light for the shell formation mechanism of bivalves.
