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 circadian rhythm in the activity of nitrate reductase (NR; EC 1.6.6.1) isolated from the marine dinoflagellate Gonyaulax polyedra is shown to be attributable to the daily synthesis and destruction of the protein. The enzyme was purified in three steps: gel filtration on S-300 Sephacryl, an Affigel-Blue column, and a diethylaminoethyl ion-exchange column. Undenatured protein shows a molecular mass of about 310 kD; based on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the enzyme appears to be composed of six possibly identical subunits. The amino acid composition of the G. polyedra NR is very similar to that reported for the NR of barley leaves, Chlorella vulgaris, and Ankistrodesmus braunii. The experiments reported indicate that the cellular expression of NR is under circadian control. In extracts of cells grown under either constant dim light or a light-dark cycle, the activity of NR exhibits a daily rhythm, peaking at midday phase, as does photosynthesis. Staining with affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies, raised in rabbits against purified NR, shows that the amount of protein changes by a factor of about 10, with the maximum occurring in midday phase.
