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

The compact genome of Fugu rubripes, with its very small introns, appears to be particularly suitable to study intron-encoded functions. We have analyzed the Fugu gene for ribosomal protein S7 (formerly S8, see Note), whose Xenopus homolog contains in its introns the coding sequences for the small nucleolar RNA U17. Except for intron length, the organization of the Fugu S7 gene is very similar to that of the Xenopus counterpart. The total length of the Fugu S7 gene is 3930 bp, compared with 12691 bp for Xenopus. This length difference is uniquely due to smaller introns. Although short, the six introns are longer than the approximately 100 bp size of most Fugu introns, as they host U17 RNA coding sequences. While four of the six U17 sequences are 'canonical', the remaining two represent diverged U17 pseudocopies. In fact, microinjection in Xenopus oocytes of in vitro synthesized Fugu transcripts containing the 'canonical' U17f sequence results in efficient production of mature U17 RNA, while injection of a transcript containing the U17 psi b sequence does not.
