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

Application of a high dose of juvenile hormone (JH) III or its mimics (JHM) to Drosophila at the white puparium stage causes the formation of a pupal-like abdomen with few or no short bristles. We report here that the rosy (ry) gene encoding the enzyme xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH), which catalyzes the final two-step oxidation in purine catabolism, is required for this effect of JH on the epidermis. In ry506 (null allele) homozygotes or hemizygotes, JH III or pyriproxifen (a JHM) had little effect on abdominal bristle or cuticle formation, but disrupted the development of the central nervous system as in wild-type flies. Wild-type ry rescued the JH sensitivity of the abdominal epidermis in ry506 mutants. Inhibition of XDH activity phenocopied the ry null mutant's insensitivity to JH. Larvae fed on hypoxanthine or xanthine showed a decreased JH sensitivity. ry506 clones were sensitive to JH, indicating that ry is required non-cell autonomously for the JH effects. Normally JH applied at pupariation causes the aberrant reexpression of the transcription factor broad in the abdominal epidermis during adult development, but in the ry506 mutant most of the cells in the dorsal tergite showed no broad reexpression, indicating that ry is upstream of broad in the JH signaling pathway.
