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

backgroundThe Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) is an InsP(3) gated intracellular Ca(2+)-release channel. Characterization of Drosophila mutants for the InsP(3)R has demonstrated that InsP(3)-mediated Ca(2+) release is required in Drosophila larvae for growth and viability. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL

findingsTo understand the molecular basis of these growth defects a genome wide microarray analysis has been carried out with larval RNA obtained from a strong InsP(3)R mutant combination in which 1504 independent genes were differentially regulated with a log(2) of fold change of 1 or more and P<0.05. This was followed by similar transcript analyses from InsP(3)R mutants where growth defects were either suppressed by introduction of a dominant suppressor or rescued by ectopic expression of an InsP(3)R transgene in the Drosophila insulin like peptide-2 (Dilp2) producing cells. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: These studies show that expression of transcripts related to carbohydrate and amine metabolism is altered in InsP(3) receptor mutant larvae. Moreover, from a comparative analysis of genes that are regulated in the suppressed and rescued conditions with the mutant condition, it appears that the organism could use different combinations of pathways to restore a 'normal' growth state.
