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

Generation of an organ of appropriate size and shape requires mechanisms that coordinate growth and patterning, but how this is achieved is not understood. Here we examine the role of the growth regulator dMyc in this process during Drosophila wing imaginal disc development. We find that dMyc is expressed in a dynamic pattern that correlates with fate specification of different regions of the wing disc, leading us to hypothesize that dMyc expression in each region directs its growth. Consistent with this view, clonal analysis of growth in each region demonstrated distinct temporal requirements for dMyc that match its expression. Surprisingly, however, experiments in which dMyc expression is manipulated reveal that the endogenous pattern has only a minor influence on wing shape. Indeed, when dMyc function is completely lacking in the wing disc over most of its development, the discs grow slowly and are small in size but appear morphologically normal. Our experiments indicate, therefore, that rather than directly influence differential growth in the wing disc, the pattern of dMyc expression augments growth directed by other regulators. Overall, however, an appropriate level of dMyc expression in the wing disc is necessary for each region to achieve a proportionately correct size.
