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

Zebrafish possess the remarkable ability to regenerate a vast variety of tissues, even as adults. However, direct imaging of regenerative processes in adult zebrafish remains challenging because of the lack of suitable anesthesia protocols. Here we present a description of an intubation-based anesthesia procedure that we developed to enable us to image regenerating zebrafish fins and which can be used to continuously anesthetize adult zebrafish for up to 2 d. Fish are immobilized in an imaging chamber followed by oral intubation. Subsequent delivery of anesthetic-containing water is achieved via a peristaltic pump. The setup of the system will take ∼90 min for two adult zebrafish, and it requires only a little previous experience of working with zebrafish. Our protocol will enable the imaging of regenerative processes in the fin and other tissues, and the investigation of processes that require long-term anesthesia, such as immune responses and surgical procedures.
