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

Structural differences between skeletal-muscle and aortic actins were studied by using biochemical and immunological approaches. By using proteinase digestion we found that three regions of actin show structural differences: (a) in the C-terminal part, (b) the region around residue 227 and (c) the region around residue 167. By using antibodies specific to particular actin conformations we can discriminate between monomeric and filamentous forms of the two actins. Our results show that the minor sequence variations of the N- and C-terminal regions induce structural change in these regions, but also some long-range structural variations in other regions.
