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

The Wnt-1 (int-1) gene was originally identified as an oncogene, but its normal function is in embryogenesis. The gene is the vertebrate homologue of the Drosophila segment polarity gene wingless, and encodes a secretory protein. In mouse embryos, Wnt-1 expression is necessary for proper development of the midbrain and anterior hindbrain. Here we describe the molecular cloning and primary structure of the zebrafish Wnt-1 gene (denoted wnt-1). Comparison with its mouse homologue reveals that both the genomic organization of wnt-1 and the amino acid sequence of the corresponding gene product have been extensively conserved during vertebrate evolution. Moreover, there is probably at least one Wnt-1-related sequence in the zebrafish genome. In zebrafish embryos, wnt-1 is expressed during differentiation of the neural tube. In situ hybridization analysis reveals that the transcripts are confined to the dorsal surfaces of the midbrain, hindbrain and spinal cord, and to lateral cells at the midbrain-hindbrain junction. Thus, the pattern of wnt-1 expression in the developing central nervous system of zebrafish is virtually identical to that seen in mouse embryos. Unexpectedly, despite the striking similarities of Wnt-1 structure and expression in fish and higher vertebrates, we could not identify sequences of obvious homology outside the coding regions, neither in the promoter nor in the introns.
