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

We describe a whole-mount RNA in situ hybridization (ISH) method optimized for detection of the cellular and subcellular distributions of specific mRNA within Drosophila testes and male genital tract. Digoxygenin (dig)-labeled antisense RNA probes are in vitro transcribed from a template synthesized by (RT)-PCR; the probe length is reduced by hydrolysis. Testes and male genital tracts are dissected from adult flies, fixed and processed for hybridization. Both probe and fixed testes can be stored before use. Extensive post-hybridization washing reduces the background. Detection is through alkaline phosphatase-conjugated anti-dig antibodies followed by a color reaction. This protocol is suitable for low-medium throughput applications with parallel processing of 2-48 samples, and takes 4-5 d to complete. We have used this protocol, which is similar to other RNA ISH protocols, but optimized for whole-mount Drosophila testes, to document the expression of about 1,000 genes in Drosophila melanogaster male genital tract.
