Upstream regulatory region of zebrafish lunatic fringe: isolation and promoter analysis.
Article in Marine biotechnology (New York, N.Y.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Lunatic fringe (Lfng), one modulator of Notch signaling, plays an essential part in demarcation of tissues boundaries during animal early development, especially somitogenesis. To characterize the promoter of zebrafish lfng and generate somite-specific transgenic zebrafish, we isolated the upstream regulatory region of zebrafish lfng by blast search at the Ensembl genome database ( http://www.ensembl.org ) and analyzed the promoter activity using green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a reporter. Promoter activity assay in zebrafish shows that the 0.2-kb fragment containing GC-box, CAAT-box, and TATA-box can direct tissue-specific GFP expression, while the 0.4-kb and 1.2-kb fragments with further upstream sequence included drive GFP expression more efficiently. We produced lfngEGFP-transgenic founders showing somite-specific expression of GFP and consequently generated a hemizygous lfngEGFP-transgenic line. The eggs from lfngEGFP-transgenic female zebrafish show strong GFP expression, which is consistent to the reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction PCR (RT-PCR) detection of lfng transcripts in the fertilized eggs. This reveals that zebrafish lfng is a maternal factor existing in matured eggs, suggesting that fish somitogenesis may be influenced by maternal factors.
