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

It has been shown that the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD; EC 4.1.1.15), which catalyzes the conversion of L-glutamate to gamma-aminobutyric acid in the central nervous system of vertebrates, can be first detected in rodents at late embryonic stages. In contrast, we have found that the gene coding for the 67-kDa form of GAD is already transcriptionally active at embryonic day E10.5 in the mouse. In addition to the 3.5-kb adult-type mRNA, we have detected two 2-kb embryonic messages that contain alternatively spliced exons of 80 (I-80) and 86 (I-86) bp, respectively. The overlapping stop-start codon TGATG, found in the embryonic exons, converts the monocistronic adult-type transcript into a bicistronic one, coding for a 25-kDa leader peptide and a 44-kDa enzymatically active truncated GAD. A second stop codon at the 3' end of the 86-bp exon abolishes the expression of truncated GAD. The products of the two embryonic mRNAs were identified in a rabbit reticulocyte in vitro translation system, COS cells, and mouse embryos. The two GAD embryonic forms represent distinct functional domains and display characteristic developmental patterns, consistent with a possible role in the formation of the gamma-aminobutyric acid-ergic inhibitory synapses.
