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

The gene encoding dARC1, one of three Drosophila homologs of mammalian activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (ARC), is upregulated in both seizure and muscular hypercontraction mutants. In this study we generate a null mutant for dArc1 and show that this gene is not involved in synaptic plasticity at the larval neuromuscular junction or in formation or decay of short-term memory of courtship conditioning, but rather is a modifier of stress-induced behavior. dARC1 is expressed in a number of neurosecretory cells and mutants are starvation-resistant, exhibiting an increased time of survival in the absence of food. Starvation resistance is likely due to the fact that dArc1 mutants lack the normal hyperlocomotor response to starvation, which is almost universal in the animal kingdom. dARC1 acts in insulin-producing neurons of the pars intercerebralis to control this behavior, but does not appear to be a general regulator of insulin signaling. This suggests that there are multiple modes of communication between the pars and the ring gland that control starvation-induced behavioral responses.
