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

The Caenorhabditis elegans heterochronic gene lin-14 specifies the temporal sequence of postembryonic developmental events. lin-14, which encodes differentially spliced LIN-14A and LIN-14B1/B2 protein isoforms, acts at distinct times during the first larval stage to specify first and second larval stage-specific cell lineages. Proposed models for the molecular basis of these two lin-14 gene activities have included the production of functionally distinct isoforms and the generation of a temporal gradient of LIN-14 protein. We report here that loss of the LIN-14B1/B2 isoforms alone affects one of the two lin-14 temporal patterning functions, the specification of second larval stage lineages. A temporal expression difference between LIN-14A and LIN-14B1/B2 is not responsible for the stage-specific phenotype: protein levels of all LIN-14 isoforms are high in early first larval stage animals and decrease during the first larval stage. However, LIN-14A can partially substitute for LIN-14B1/B2 when expressed at a higher-than-normal level in the late L1 stage. These data indicate that LIN-14B1/B2 isoforms do not provide a distinct function of the lin-14 locus in developmental timing but rather may contribute to an overall level of LIN-14 protein that is the critical determinant of temporal cell fate.
