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

Identifying gene function during mammary gland development and function remains a technical challenge. For example, if a gene deletion is lethal during early embryogenesis, there is no opportunity to study its effects on the development or function of the gland. Similarly, if a dominant gain of gene function alters early mammary gland development, then its specific role during lactation cannot be assessed. Conditional gene expression systems can be used to circumvent these problems. Gene deletions or dominant gain experiments can be performed in an organ or cell type specific manner at specific timepoints using inducible gene expression systems. This review focuses on tetracycline responsive transactivation and Cre-lox systems. Other tetracycline regulatable (tet system) or hormone inducible systems and the Flp recombinase system are discussed as alternative approaches. Each system is described. The advantages and disadvantages of each for studying gene function in the mammary gland are discussed. Finally, the role of mammary gland transplantation in these genetic studies is examined.
