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

Housekeeping protein expression in tissue samples is often used to normalize immunoblotting data. However, utilizing common loading control proteins in pathological conditions without validation can be problematic. Here, we describe the alteration of commonly used loading control protein expressions in asthmatic lung samples and present a simpler and more reliable loading control for western blot analysis. Lung samples from control and asthmatic mice groups were used to assess the expression levels of three commonly used housekeeping proteins (beta-actin, alpha-tubulin, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase). Ponceau S staining data was also obtained to assess the consistency of protein loading. Housekeeping protein expressions varied dramatically in asthmatic groups, ranging from 26 to 278 % compared to the control group (
