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

Retinoic acid (RA) is required for diverse developmental programs, including vertebral specification. Both RA receptor disruption and excess RA result in homeotic transformations of the axial skeleton. These effects are believed to occur through altered expression of Hox genes, several of which have been demonstrated to be direct RA targets. Members of the cdx (caudal) homeobox gene family are also implicated in regulating Hox expression. Disruption of cdx1 results in vertebral homeotic transformations and alteration of Hox expression boundaries; similar homeosis is also observed in cdx2 heterozygotes. In Xenopus, gain or loss of Cdx function affects vertebral morphogenesis through a mechanism that also correlates with altered Hox expression. Taken together with the finding of putative Cdx binding motifs in several Hox promoters, these data strongly support a role for Cdx members in direct regulation of expression of at least some Hox genes. Most retinoid-responsive Hox genes have not been demonstrated to be direct RA targets, suggesting that intermediaries are involved. Based on these findings, we hypothesized that one or more cdx members may transduce the effects of RA on Hox transcription. Consistent with this, we present evidence that cdx1 is a direct RA target gene, suggesting an additional pathway for retinoid-dependent vertebral specification.
