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

A protein phylogenetic tree was constructed from 24 homologous proteinase inhibitor I sequences identified in the EMBL/Genbank and Swiss-Prot databases and from translated amino acid data from four constitutive cDNA clones of proteinase inhibitor I characterized from potato tuber mRNA. The tree suggests that divergence of at least four paralogous proteins with functional specialization occurred at different times during the evolutionary history of the proteinase inhibitor I family. Five distinct regions in the primary structure, earlier identified by structural studies, were used to analyze the inhibitor family for hypervariability (Creighton and Darby, Trends Biochem Sci 14:319-324, 1989). Mutations did not occur with higher-than-random frequency within the proteinase binding region. When isoinhibitor, orthologous, or paralogous data subsets were subsequently analyzed the same results were obtained. Comparison of the amino acid sequences for all the known potato proteinase isoinhibitor I proteins identified ten highly variable sites. These also were distributed randomly. Thus hypervariability, which has been observed in all other serine proteinase inhibitor families to date, appears to be lacking in the proteinase inhibitor I family.
