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

We have determined the primary structure of protamine R3 from ratfish (Hydrolagus colliei), a species belonging to the order Chimaeriformes (an old phylogenetic line among the chondrichthyes). Protamine R3 contains 48 residues organized as follows: ARRRH SMKKK RKSVR RRKTR KNQRK RKNSL GRSFK (Q/A)HGFL KQPPR FRP. Comparison of this sequence with both protamine Z3 from Scyliorhinus canicula (a chondrichthyan) and typical protamines from bony fish generates an apparent contradiction: Two relatively close species (H. colliei and S. canicula, both chondichthyes) display different protamines, whereas species more distant in evolution (S. canicula and bony fish) contain very similar protamine molecules. We note that this is not an isolated case in the evolution of sperm nuclear basic proteins (SNBPs) and discuss the possible significance of this fact.
