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

During the course of a study aiming to obtain a tetracycline (Tet)-inducible transgene expression restricted to the placenta, we have observed a toxicity of doxycycline (dox) given in the food at doses of 2.5-10 mg/g to pregnant mice from two different inbred strains. During the second half of gestation, dox-fed non-transgenic mice presented placental anomalies and impaired fetal development proportional to the dose of antibiotic. Thus, dox administered in commonly used food doses can have an adverse effect on pregnancy. These observations are important for studies of placental or fetal development using inducible gene promoters.
