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

The myogenic regulatory genes Myf5, Mrf4, Myod, and Myogenin likely arose by gene duplications during evolution, presumably to address the more demanding requirements of the vertebrate body plan. Two cell lineages were proposed to be regulated independently by Myf5 and Myod to safeguard against tissue failure. Here we report severe muscle loss following ablation of Myf5-expressing cells. Using both lineage-specific and ubiquitous reporter alleles, we show that the remaining muscles in Myf5(Cre)-DTA embryos arise mainly from Myf5(+) escaper cells. Elimination of Myf5(Cre)-DTA cells on a Myod null background did not result in the total absence of skeletal muscles, as would be expected if a Myod(+)/Myf5-independent cell population played a major role in this scenario. Therefore, these observations are incompatible with a previously proposed functional two-lineage model. These findings will have an impact on the interpretation of phenotypes obtained using similar strategies in other tissues.
