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

Homeobox gene XlHbox 1 is expressed in a mesodermal gradient in vertebrate forelimbs with maximal expression anteriorly and proximally and may encode positional values. In chick wing buds, anterior cells can be reprogrammed to form posterior structures by grafts of polarizing region tissue and by beads soaked in retinoic acid (RA), which is a good candidate for an endogenous morphogen. Applications of RA anteriorly or at the bud apex, treatments which produce duplicated digits or truncations respectively, substantially increase the extent of mesodermal XlHbox 1 expression. Polarizing region grafts that also produce additional digits lead to a moderate increase. The effects of RA application and the behaviour of transplanted tissue show that only anterior cells are competent to express XlHbox 1 and that expression is cell autonomous. Ectodermal expression in wing buds is enhanced by RA but not by polarizing region grafts and ectoderm/mesoderm recombinations show that the mesoderm is irreversibly affected. The changes in mesodermal expression do not fit the predictions of the simple model that XlHbox 1 encodes anterior positional values but are correlated with a series of novel malformations of the shoulder girdle which, in normal wing buds, is derived from cells expressing XlHbox 1.
