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

A recessive nonsense mutation in the zebrafish recombination activating gene 1 (rag1) gene results in defective V(D)J recombination; however, animals homozygous for this mutation (rag1(-/-)) are reportedly viable and fertile in standard, nonsterile aquarium conditions but display increased mortality after intraperitoneal injection with mycobacteria. Based on their survival in nonsterile environments, we hypothesized that the rag1(-/-) zebrafish may possess an "enhanced" innate immune response to compensate for the lack of an adaptive immune system. To test this hypothesis, microarray analyses were used to compare the expression profiles of the intestines and hematopoietic kidneys of rag1 deficient zebrafish to the expression profiles of control (heterozygous) siblings. The expression levels of 12 genes were significantly altered in the rag1(-/-) kidney including the up regulation of a putative interferon stimulated gene, and the down regulation of genes encoding fatty acid binding protein 10, keratin 5 and multiple heat shock proteins. The expression levels of 87 genes were shown to be significantly altered in the rag1(-/-) intestine; the majority of these differences reflect increased expression of innate immune genes, including those of the coagulation and complement pathways. Subsequent analyses of orthologous coagulation and complement genes in Rag1(-/-) mice indicate increased transcription of the complement C4 gene in the Rag1(-/-) intestine.
