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

Lhx9 is an LIM (named for the first three proteins in which the domain was found, Lin-11, Isl1 and Mec-3) homeodomain protein involved in development and differentiation of the gonad. In this study, we isolated the full-length Lhx9 and Lhx9α from Andrias davidianus, detected the tissue distribution and analysed the methylation of the promoters. We identified Lhx9 of 1411 bp and Lhx9α of 1153-bp length, differing in the 3'-flanking region, encoding 399 and 330 amino acids, respectively. The Lhx9 gene was detected primarily in liver, ovary and heart with moderate expression in brain, pituitary, intestine and spleen, and low expression in the remaining examined tissues, while Lhx9α expression was high in heart, pituitary and liver, and low in spleen and stomach. Significantly higher Lhx9 expression was observed in ovary than in testis, with no differences in Lhx9α expression between testis and ovary observed. Bisulphite sequencing revealed significantly higher methylation in testis compared to ovary. The methylation level of CpG sites -733, -673, -615 and -594 exhibited significantly higher levels in testis than in ovary, which was negatively correlated with Lhx9 expression. The methylation and expression patterns suggested that promoter methylation suppressed expression of Lhx9 in A. davidianus.
