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

purposePax6 is a critical regulator of the developing lens, other ocular tissues, central nervous system, and pancreas. Downstream targets of Pax6 are largely unknown. The present study was designed to identify differentially expressed genes in Pax6 heterozygous and normal mouse lenses.

methodsRNAs from 8-week-old normal and Pax6 heterozygous mouse lenses were analyzed by both RT-PCR differential display and a candidate-gene approach. The expression levels of identified genes were confirmed by semiquantitative RT-PCR.

resultsEight transcripts encoding phosphatase inhibitor Pip-1 protein, heat shock protein Hsp40, Purkinje cell protein Pcp4, an expressed sequence tag (EST; AA331381) originally reported in a brain-specific library, Pitx3, and CBP, were confirmed to be downregulated in the Pax6 heterozygous mouse lenses. alphaB- and betaA3/A1-crystallin transcripts exhibited decreased expression in Pax6 heterozygous lenses, whereas the expression levels of other crystallins were virtually unchanged.

conclusionsThe present data identify eight genes with expression levels that are decreased in Pax6 heterozygous lenses and provide evidence that four functional categories of transcripts-namely, small hsps (alphaB-crystallin and Hsp40), crystallins (alphaB- and betaA3/A1-crystallin), transcription factors (Pitx-3 and CBP), and components of signal transduction cascades (Pip-1) are under direct or indirect transcriptional control by Pax6.
