Human link protein gene: structure and transcription pattern in chondrocytes.
Article in The Biochemical journal, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We have examined the genomic organization and the transcription unit for the human link protein gene from genomic clones and RNA prepared from human cartilage over a wide age range. Five exons cover the gene which is greater than 60 kbp. Primer extension and S1 nuclease protection analysis revealed transcription initiation to be 315 bases upstream from the translation initiation codon in RNA derived from cartilage samples ranging from fetal to 53 years of age. The first exon size therefore is 289 bp and examination of the 5' flanking sequence indicated a lack of a TATA box in close proximity to the transcription start, although a TATAA-like motif (TCTAA) was present at -75 bp. Such a sequence at a similar distance can serve as a promoter in the chicken link protein gene. The large first exon of 289 bp is similar to that of the chicken but contrasts with that described previously for human (96 bp) and rat (62 bp). We also analysed human link protein mRNA by PCR for the presence of an alternatively spliced exon that is present in rat mRNA in low abundance, but could not detect such transcripts. Equine and porcine mRNA contained this spliced form but the results suggested that this was expressed as a rare transcript.
