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

Two genes belonging to the heat shock protein 70 gene family have been cloned from the colonial protochordate Botryllus schlosseri. The two intronless genes (HSP70.1 and HSP70.2) exhibit 93.6% sequence identity within the predicted coding region, and 83.3% and 81.7% sequence identity in the 5' and 3' flanking regions, respectively. The predicted amino acid sequences are 95% identical and contain several signatures characteristic of cytoplasmic eukaryotic HSP70 genes (Gupta et al. 1994; Rensing and Maier 1994). Northern blotting and sequence analysis suggest that both genes are heat-inducible members of the HSP70 gene family. Given these characteristics, HSP70.1 and HSP70.2 appear to be good candidates for protochordate homologues of the major histocompatibility complex-linked HSP70 genes of human, mouse, and rat (Milner and Campbell 1990; Walter et al. 1994). Further experiments to determine whether there is functional evidence for such similarity are in progress.
