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

Based on the results of cytological studies, it has been assumed that Cyanidioschyzon merolae does not contain actin genes. However, Southern hybridization of C. merolae cell-nuclear DNA with a yeast actin-gene probe has been suggested the presence of an actin gene in the C. merolae genome. In the present study, an actin gene was isolated from a C. merolae genomic library using a yeast actin-gene probe. The C. merolae actin gene has no intron. The predicted actin is composed of 377 amino acids and has an estimated molecular mass of 42 003 Da. Southern hybridization indicated that the C. merolae genome contains only one actin gene. This gene is transcribed at a size of 2.4 kb. When Southern hybridization was performed with C. merolae chromosomes separated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, a band appeared on unseparated chromosomes XI and XII. A phylogenetic tree based on known eucaryote actin-gene sequences revealed that C. merolae diverged after the division of Protozoa, but before the division of Fungi, Animalia and Chlorophyta.
