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

Cranial placodes are thickenings in the ectoderm that give rise to sensory organs and peripheral ganglia of the vertebrate head. At gastrula and neurula stages, placodal precursors are intermingled in the neural plate border with future neural and neural crest cells. Here, we show that the epigenetic modifier, DNA methyl transferase (DNMT) 3A, expressed in the neural plate border region, influences development of the otic placode which will contribute to the ear. DNMT3A is expressed in the presumptive otic region at gastrula through neurula stages and later in the otic placode itself. Whereas neural plate border and non-neural ectoderm markers Erni, Dlx5, Msx1 and Six1 are unaltered, DNMT3A loss of function leads to early reduction in the expression of the key otic placode specifier genes Pax2 and Gbx2 and later otic markers Sox10 and Soho1. Reduction of Gbx2 was first observed at HH7, well before loss of other otic markers. Later, this translates to significant reduction in the size of the otic vesicle. Based on these results, we propose that DNMT3A is important for enabling the activation of Gbx2 expression, necessary for normal development of the inner ear.
