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

Most of the genes involved in the development of multicellular eukaryotes encode large, multidomain proteins. To decipher the major trends in the evolution of these proteins and make functional predictions for uncharacterized domains, we applied a strategy of sequence database search that includes construction of specialized data sets and iterative subsequence masking. This computational approach allowed us to detect previously unnoticed but potentially important sequence similarities. Developmental gene products are enriched in predicted nonglobular regions as compared to unbiased sets of eukaryotic and bacterial proteins. Developmental genes that act intracellularly, primarily at the level of transcription regulation, typically code for proteins containing highly conserved DNA-binding domains, most of which appear to have evolved before the radiation of bacteria and eukaryotes. We identified bacterial homologues, namely a protein family that includes the Escherichia coli universal stress protein UspA, for the MADS-box transcription regulators previously described only in eukaryotes. We also show that the FUS6 family of eukaryotic proteins contains a putative DNA-binding domain related to bacterial helix-turn-helix transcription regulators. Developmental proteins that act extracellularly are less conserved and often do not have bacterial homologues. Nevertheless, several provocative similarities between different groups of such proteins were detected.
