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

The major surface glycoprotein (MSG) of rat-derived Pneumocystis carinii represents a group of related molecules that are encoded by multiple genes. We isolated seven unique MSG cDNAs from a library prepared from a single infected rat lung. The cDNAs displayed both conserved and variant regions to previously described cDNAs. These clones contained inserts that ranged in size from 0.4 to 1.8 kb and all contained a poly(A) tail. The largest clone, Pc1410, hybridized to all 15 chromosomes resolved by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Protein produced by in vitro translation from Pc1410 was immunoprecipitated with affinity-purified MSG antibodies. The clones were characterized by DNA sequencing of their 3' and 5' ends. Analysis of the untranslated and coding regions demonstrated that the clones contained unique and conserved regions of sequence, but none of the clones were identical. Isolation of seven additional unique clones picked from a single screening of a cDNA library suggests that numerous MSG transcripts exist within a population of P. carinii.
