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

C57BL/6J-T-associated sex reversal (B6-TAS) in XY mice results in ovarian development and involves (1) hemizygosity for Tas, a gene located in the region of Chromosome 17 deleted in T(hp) and T(Orl), (2) homozygosity for one or more B6-derived autosomal genes, and (3) the presence of the AKR Y chromosome. Here we report results from experiments designed to investigate the Y chromosome component of this sex reversal. Testis development was restored in B6 T(Orl)/+ XY(AKR) mice carrying a Mus musculus Sry transgene. In addition, two functionally different classes of M. domesticus Sry alleles were identified among eight standard and two wild-derived inbred strains. One class, which includes AKR, did not initiate normal testis development in B6 T(Orl)/+ XY mice, whereas the other did. DNA sequence analysis of the Sry ORF and a 5' 800-bp segment divided these inbred strains into the same groups. Finally, we found that Sry is transcribed in B6 T(Orl)/+ XY(AKR) fetal gonads but at a reduced level. These results pinpoint Sry as the Y-linked component of B6-TAS. We hypothesize that the inability of specific M. domesticus Sry alleles to initiate normal testis development in B6 T(Orl)/+ XY(AKR) mice results from a biologically insufficient level of Sry expression, allowing the ovarian development pathway to proceed.
