Opsins from the lateral eyes and ocelli of the horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus.

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
cDNA clones encoding opsins from the lateral eyes and median ocelli of the horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, were isolated from cDNA libraries. The opsin cDNAs obtained from the lateral eye and ocellar libraries code for deduced proteins with 376 amino acids. The two cDNAs are 96% identical at the nucleic acid level, differing primarily at the 3' untranslated region, and are apparently the products of two separate genes. The deduced opsin proteins are 99% identical to each other, differing at only 5 amino acids. The opsins encoded by these cDNAs are most likely the protein moiety of the visible-wavelength rhodopsins in this animal. In the lateral eye, expression of the opsin gene is restricted to the photoreceptor cells of the ommatidia. Comparisons with opsins of other species show that the Limulus opsin proteins are most similar (53% identity) to the opsin from the R1-6 photoreceptors of flies.
