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 Y chromosome plays a critical role in spermatogenesis. Formerly, it had been difficult to generate knockout mice with specific Y chromosome mutations using conventional gene-targeting strategies. Recently, a transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN) was successfully used for editing a mouse Y chromosome-linked gene. Here, we report the generation of a mouse model with a mutation in EIF2S3Y, a Y chromosome-linked gene, and analysis of its phenotype. The mouse carrying a targeted mutation of EIF2S3Y was infertile and had hypoplastic testes. Histological and electron microscopic analyses showed that differentiation of spermatogonia was arrested at the stage of spermatogonial stem cells (undifferentiated spermatogonia) and that the progression of spermatogenesis was interrupted, resulting in azoospermia. Using TALEN, we verified that EIF2S3Y performs a key function in differentiation of spermatogonial stem cells.
