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

We have isolated cDNA clones from thyrotoxic (pMHC alpha) and normal (pMHC beta) adult rabbit hearts. Restriction map analysis and DNA sequence analyses show that, although there is strong homology between overlapping regions of the two clones, they are distinctly different. The two clones exhibited 78-83% homology between the derived amino acid sequences and those determined by direct amino acid sequence analysis of rabbit fast skeletal muscle myosin heavy chains. The clones specify a segment of the myosin heavy chain corresponding to subfragment 2 and the COOH-terminal portions of subfragment 1. Nuclease S1 mapping was used to compare transcription of the two clones with expression of the alpha and beta forms of myosin heavy chains in the ventricles of thyrotoxic, hypothyroid (propylthiouracil-treated), and normal rabbits. Thyrotoxic ventricles contained only pMHC alpha transcripts whereas hypothyroid ventricles contained exclusively pMHC beta transcripts. These data correlate well with the presence of alpha- and beta-form myosin heavy chains. In the normal young adult rabbit, pMHC beta transcripts predominate, agreeing with the known beta form/alpha form ratio of 4:1. We therefore conclude that pMHC alpha and pMHC beta contain sequences of the alpha- and beta-form myosin heavy chain genes, respectively.
