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

An albumin-humanized mouse model was generated via crossbreeding between albumin-transgenic and albumin-null mice and characterized. Immunoblot analyses confirmed that only human, but not mouse, albumin was expressed, and they revealed that the level of serum human albumin in the albumin-humanized mouse was 5-6 times the level in the albumin-transgenic mouse. Serum albumin levels (measured in plasma) were 3-4 times lower, whereas globulin levels were 2 times higher, in the albumin-humanized than in wild-type mice. The transgene integration site was localized via optical genome mapping to mouse chromosome 14, between 2 marker positions that are 143-kilobase pairs apart. A neighboring gene (alpha fetal protein) to albumin on the human chromosome was confirmed absent in the transgenic mouse. A transgene-mouse genome junction sequence was further identified, enabling a new protocol to distinguish between hemizygous and homozygous albumin-transgenic mice. Transgenic human albumin formed covalent adducts with naphthalene 1,2-oxide (NAO) ex vivo at the Cys
