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

In the developing Drosophila eye, the morphogenetic furrow is a developmental organizing center for patterning and cell proliferation. The furrow acts both to limit eye size and to coordinate the number of cells to the number of facets. Here we report the molecular and functional characterization of Drosophila mini-me (mnm), a potential regulator of cell proliferation and survival in the developing eye. We first identified mnm as a dominant modifier of hedgehog loss-of-function in the developing eye. We report that mnm encodes a conserved protein with zinc knuckle and RING finger domains. We show that mnm is dispensable for patterning of the eye disc, but required in the eye for normal cell proliferation and survival. We also show that mnm null mutant cells exhibit altered cell cycle profiles and contain excess nucleic acid. Moreover, mnm overexpression can induce cells to proliferate and incorporate BrdU. Thus, our data implicate mnm as a regulator of mitotic progression during the proliferative phase of eye development, possibly through the control of nucleic acid metabolism.
