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 Stat (signal transducer and activator of transcription) gene family plays a vital role in regulating immunity and the processes of cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis across diverse organisms. Although the functions of Stat genes in immunity have been extensively documented in many mammals, limited data are available for reptiles. We used phylogenetic analysis to identify eight putative members of the Stat family (Stat1-1, Stat1-2, Stat2, Stat3, Stat4, Stat5b, Stat6-1, and Stat6-2) within the genome of M. reevesii, a freshwater turtle found in East Asia. Sequence analysis showed that the Stat genes contain four conserved structural domains protein interaction domain, coiled-coil domain, DNA-binding domain, and Src homology domain 2. In addition, Stat1, Stat2, and Stat6 contain TAZ2bind, Apolipo_F, and TALPID3 structural domains. The mRNA levels of Stat genes were upregulated in spleen tissues at 4, 8, 12, and 16 h after administration of lipopolysaccharide, a potent activator of the immune system. Stat5b expression at 12-h LPS post-injection exhibited the most substantial difference from the control. The expression of Stat5b in spleen tissue cellular was verified by immunofluorescence. These results suggest that Stat5b plays a role in the immune response of M. reevesii and may prove to be as a positive marker of an immune response in future studies.
