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

Otx2 is a paired type homeobox gene that plays essential roles in each step and site of head development in vertebrates. In the mouse, Otx2 expression in the anterior neuroectoderm is regulated primarily by two distinct enhancers: anterior neuroectoderm (AN) and forebrain/midbrain (FM) enhancers at 92 kb and 75 kb 5'of the Otx2 locus, respectively. The AN enhancer has activity in the entire anterior neuroectoderm at headfold and early somite stages, whereas the FM enhancer is subsequently active in the future caudal forebrain and midbrain ectoderm. In tetrapods, both AN and FM enhancers are conserved, whereas the AN region is missing in teleosts, despite overt Otx2 expression in the anterior neuroectoderm. Here, we show that zebrafish and fugu FM regions drive expression not only in the forebrain and midbrain but also in the anterior neuroectoderm at headfold stage. The analysis of coelacanth and skate genomic Otx2 orthologues suggests that the utilization of the two enhancers, AN and FM, is an ancestral condition. In contrast, the AN enhancer has been specifically lost in the teleost lineage with a compensatory establishment of AN activity within the FM enhancer. Furthermore, the AN activity in the fish FM enhancer was established by recruiting upstream factors different from those that direct the tetrapod AN enhancer, yet zebrafish FM enhancer is active in both mouse and zebrafish anterior neuroectoderm at the headfold stage.
