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

Collections of single P transposable-element insertion strains that currently inactivate more than 25% of essential Drosophila genes have proven to be a valuable tool for genome research in Drosophila melanogaster. For genes unrepresented in these collections, strategies including local P element transposition and transposase-induced imprecise excision can be used to inactivate or delete the gene of interest. Here we report our use of local P element transposition followed by imprecise P element excision and transposase-induced male recombination to generate two deficiencies specific for the EcR-A isoform of the ecdysone receptor ( EcR) gene, and four larger deficiencies likely to affect multiple EcR functions. We also report here the determination of sequences flanking six EcR-B deficiencies generated in a previous imprecise excision screen. EcR-A encodes one of a family of three related nuclear receptor proteins that, together with the heterodimer partner USP, mediate ecdysone signaling during Drosophila development. Our results delineate sequences required in vivo for EcR-A function, as well as identifying EcR-A intron 1 sequences that are not essential for EcR function.
