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

Alterations in gene expression are thought to help mediate certain effects of alcohol in the brain. We have analyzed the expression of approximately 24,000 genes using oligonucleotide microarrays to examine the brain expression profiles in two strains of inbred mice, C57BL/6J and DBA/2J, following exposure to an acute dose of ethanol. Our screen identified 61 genes responding to the ethanol treatment beyond a 1.5-fold threshold, with 46 genes altered in both mouse strains and 15 altered in only one strain. Approximately 25% of the genes were selected for confirmation by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction with an 87% success rate. The genes identified have roles in cell signaling, gene regulation, and homeostasis/stress response. Although some of the genes were previously known to be ethanol responsive, we have for the most part identified novel genes involved in the acute murine brain response to ethanol. Such genes have the potential to represent candidate genes in the search to elucidate the molecular pathways mediating ethanol's effects in the brain.
