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

Notch signaling has been implicated in the segmentation of vertebrates but is not involved in segmentation in Drosophila. Recent evidence, however, implies that Notch signaling regulates segmentation in some Arthropods, including an insect, and that Notch signaling regulated segmentation in the common ancestor of Vertebrates and Arthropods. Notch signaling regulates clock-like formation of segments in both groups, a phenomenon not seen in Drosophila. We present evidence that Notch signaling components are expressed in a pattern implying a role in segmentation in honeybees, where the expression of genes involved in segmentation are modulated in a temporal way. Despite this, pharmacological investigation and RNA interference experiments indicate that Notch signaling does not regulate segmentation in honeybees, but instead regulates patterning within segments after segmentation itself has occurred. Notch signaling thus does not regulate segmentation in holometabolous insects, even when segments appear to form in anterior-posterior sequence.
