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

Runx gene family transcription factors play important regulatory roles in metazoan development. The Drosophila genome contains four Runx genes, two of which are well studied (runt and lozenge) and two of which have not been explored in depth yet (CG42267 and CG34145). In the absence of paralog-specific orthologs in vertebrates, we investigated the evolutionary conservation of the Drosophila Runx genes in the genomes of mosquito, red flour beetle, honeybee, and distantly related Bilateria. All four Drosophila Runx genes are conserved in other endopterygote insects. Strikingly, their genetic linkage and genomic arrangement is also highly conserved despite past recombination events in the same genomic region. The preservation of Runx gene cluster organization for at least 300 million years resembles that of insect Hox and selected Wnt genes. We propose a model for the conserved cluster organization of developmental gene family paralogs based on differential coduplication of regulatory elements that act over long distances.
