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

Given the inherent variability of aquatic systems, predicting the in situ effects of contaminants on such ecosystems still represents a major challenge for ecotoxicology. In this context, transcriptomic tools can help identify and investigate the mechanisms of toxicity beyond the traditional morphometric, physiological and population-level endpoints. In this study, we used the 454 sequencing technology to examine the in situ effects of chronic metal (Cd, Cu) exposure on the yellow perch (Perca flavescens) transcriptome. Total hepatic mRNA from fish sampled along a polymetallic gradient was extracted, reverse transcribed, labeled with unique barcode sequences and sequenced. This approach allowed us to identify correlations between the transcription level of single genes and the hepatic concentrations of individual metals; 71% of the correlations established were negative. Chronic metal exposure was thus associated with a decrease in the transcription levels of numerous genes involved in protein biosynthesis, in the immune system, and in lipid and energy metabolism. Our results suggest that this marked decrease could result from an impairment of bile acid metabolism by Cd and energy restriction but also from the recruitment of several genes involved in epigenetic modifications of histones and DNA that lead to gene silencing.
