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

Three cold shock domain (CSD) family members (YB-1, MSY2, and MSY4) exist in vertebrate species ranging from frogs to humans. YB-1 is expressed throughout embryogenesis and is ubiquitously expressed in adult animals; it protects cells from senescence during periods of proliferative stress. YB-1-deficient embryos die unexpectedly late in embryogenesis (embryonic day 18.5 [E18.5] to postnatal day 1) with a runting phenotype. We have now determined that MSY4, but not MSY2, is also expressed during embryogenesis; its abundance declines substantially from E9.5 to E17.5 and is undetectable on postnatal day 1(adult mice express MSY4 in testes only). Whole-mount analysis revealed similar patterns of YB-1 and MSY4 RNA expression in E11.5 embryos. To determine whether MSY4 delays the death of YB-1-deficient embryos, we created and analyzed MSY4-deficient mice and then generated YB-1 and MSY4 double-knockout embryos. MSY4 is dispensable for normal development and survival, but the testes of adult mice have excessive spermatocyte apoptosis and seminiferous tubule degeneration. Embryos doubly deficient for YB-1 and MSY4 are severely runted and die much earlier (E8.5 to E11.5) than YB-1-deficient embryos, suggesting that MSY4 indeed shares critical cellular functions with YB-1 in the embryonic tissues where they are coexpressed.
