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 shown previously that enkephalin-containing peptides of high molecular weight increase 10- to 15-fold 3 days after adrenal denervation and have suggested that much of this material may represent newly synthesized proenkephalin. In this paper we report that most of the material appearing after denervation is indeed intact proenkephalin. The putative proenkephalin was partially purified by gel filtration chromatography and HPLC. A molecular size of about 25 kDa was estimated by gel filtration. On HPLC, the putative proenkephalin was eluted at a much higher propanol concentration than the 18.2-kDa enkephalin-containing peptide isolated previously. Treatment of this putative proenkephalin with endoproteinase Lys-C showed it contain [Met]-enkephalin, [Leu]enkephalin, [Met]enkephalin-Arg6-Phe7, and [Met]enkephalin-Arg6-Gly7-Leu8 in the same ratios as are found in proenkephalin as deduced from sequencing of proenkephalin cDNA.
