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

Glial cells missing homolog 2 (GCM2) is a transcription factor that is expressed predominately in the pharyngeal pouches and, at later stages, in the developing and mature parathyroid glands. In humans, loss of GCM2 function, either through recessive apomorphic mutations or dominant inhibitor mutations in the human GCM2 gene, leads to isolated hypoparathyroidism. In mice, homozygous disruption of Gcm2 by conventional gene targeting results in parathyroid aplasia and hypoparathyroidism. In this study, we report the generation and functional characterization of mice encoding a conditional null allele of Gcm2. We demonstrate the functional integrity of the conditional Gcm2 allele and report successful in vivo deletion of exon 2 using Cre recombinase. The mice with conditional deletion of Gcm2 displayed phenotypes similar to those previously described for a conventional Gcm2 knockout, including perinatal lethality, hypocalemia, low or undetectable serum levels of parathyroid hormone, and absent parathyroid glands. The production of a conditional mutant allele for Gcm2 represents a valuable resource for the study of the temporal- and spatial-specific roles for Gcm2, and for understanding the postnatal activities of GCM2 protein.
