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

Tbx1 is the candidate gene of DiGeorge syndrome and is required in humans and mice for the development of the cardiac outflow tract (OFT) and aortic arch arteries. Loss of function mutants present with reduced cell proliferation and premature differentiation of cardiac progenitor cells of the second heart field (SHF). Tbx1 regulates Fgf8 expression hence the hypothesis that the proliferation impairment may contribute to the heart phenotype of mutants. Here we show that forced Fgf8 expression modifies and partially rescues the OFT septation defects of Tbx1 mutants but only if there is some residual expression of Tbx1. This genetic experiment suggests that Tbx1, directly or indirectly, affects tissue response to Fgf8. Indeed, Tbx1(-/-) mouse embryonic fibroblasts were unable to respond to Fgf8 added to the culture media and showed defective response of Erk1/2 and Rsk1. Our data suggest a coordinated pathway modulating Fgf8 ligand expression and tissue response to it in the SHF.
