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

Vertebrate opsins are divided into four major groups: RH1 (rhodopsins), RH2 (rhodopsinlike with various absorption sensitivities), SWS (short-wavelength sensitive), and LWS/MWS (long and middle-wavelength sensitive) groups. The green opsin genes (g101Af and g103Af) in a Mexican characin Astyanax fasciatus belong to the LWS/MWS group, whereas those in goldfish belong to the RH2 group (Yokoyama 1994, Mol Biol Evol 11:32-39). A newly isolated opsin gene (rh11Af) from A. fasciatus contains five exons and four introns, spanning 4.2 kilobases from start to stop codons. This gene is most closely related to the two green opsin genes of goldfish and belongs to the RH2 group. In the LWS/MWS group, gene duplication of the ancestral red and green opsin genes predates the speciation between A. fasciatus and goldfish, suggesting that goldfish also has an additional gene which is orthologous to g101Af and g103Af.
