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

In mammals, embryonic development are highly regulated morphogenetic processes that are tightly controlled by genetic elements. Failure of any one of these processes can result in embryonic malformation. The lysyl oxidase (LOX) family genes are closely related to human diseases. In this study, we investigated the essential role of lysyl oxidase-like 3 (LOXL3), a member of the LOX family, in embryonic development. Mice lacking LOXL3 exhibited perinatal lethality, and the deletion of the Loxl3 gene led to impaired development of the palate shelves, abnormalities in the cartilage primordia of the thoracic vertebrae and mild alveolar shrinkage. We found that the obvious decrease of collagen cross-links in palate and spine that was induced by the lack of LOXL3 resulted in cleft palate and spinal deformity. Thus, we provide critical in vivo evidence that LOXL3 is indispensable for mouse palatogenesis and vertebral column development. The Loxl3 gene may be a candidate disease gene resulting in cleft palate and spinal deformity.
