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

backgroundWith the exception of the head, the vertebrate embryonic body is formed progressively in an anterior-posterior direction, originating from a posteriorly located bipotential neural-mesodermal progenitor population. The T-box transcription factor Brachyury is expressed within the progenitors and is essential for the formation of the posterior mesoderm. A novel cold-sensitive mutant of Zebrafish Brachyury (ntla(cs) ) is described that allows exploration of the temporal role of this key factor.

resultsThe ntla(cs) mutant is used to show that Ntla has an essential role during early gastrulation, but as gastrulation proceeds the importance of Ntla declines as Ntlb acquires a capacity to form the posterior mesoderm. Remarkably, ntla(cs) embryos held at the nonpermissive temperature just during the gastrula stages show recovery of normal levels of mesodermal gene expression, demonstrating the plasticity of the posterior progenitors.

conclusionntla(cs) is a valuable tool for exploring the processes forming the posterior body since it allows temporally specific activation and inactivation of Brachyury function. It is used here to show the changing roles of Ntla during early development and the dynamics of the neuromesodermal progenitors.
