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

DAZAP1 (Deleted in Azoospermia Associated Protein 1) is a ubiquitous hnRNP protein that is expressed most abundantly in the testis. Its ability to shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm and its exclusion from the transcriptionally inactive XY body in pachytene spermatocytes implicate it in mRNA transcription and transport. We generated Dazap1 mutant alleles to study the role of DAZAP1 in mouse development. Most mice homozygous for the null allele as well as a hypomorphic Fn allele died soon after birth. The few Dazap1(Fn/Fn) mice that survived could nonetheless live for more than a year. They appeared and behaved normally but were much smaller in size compared to their wild-type and heterozygous littermates. Both male and female Dazap1(Fn/Fn) mice were sterile. Males had small testes, and the seminiferous tubules were atrophic with increased numbers of apoptotic cells. The tubules contained many germ cells, including pachytene spermatocytes with visible XY-bodies and diplotene spermatocytes, but no post-meiotic cells. FACS analyses confirmed the absence of haploid germ cells, indicating spermatogenesis arrested right before the meiotic division. Female Dazap1(Fn/Fn) mice had small ovaries that contained normal-appearing follicles, yet their pregnancy produced no progeny due to failure in embryonic development. The phenotypes of Dazap1 mutant mice indicate that DAZAP1 is not only essential for spermatogenesis, but also required for the normal growth and development of mice.
