Transcriptomic Variation during Spermiogenesis in Mouse Germ Cells.
Article in PloS one, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
To explore variations in the transcription activity during spermiogenesis, round and elongated spermatids were collected from ICR/CD1 model mice using laser capture microdissection (LCM) and cauda epididymal sperm samples. The transcripts were sequenced using RNA-seq, and the reads were mapped to mm9. The majority of the reads (70%) in the round and elongated spermatids were mappable to known and predicted exons, but that in sperm was only 9%. The results of the distribution of reads suggested that alternative splicing was more complicated in sperm than in round and elongated spermatids. In the 19,127 genes, we detected the expression of 5,104 de novo genes and 91,112 alternative splicing events, and 12,105 were differentially expressed. Gene ontology (GO), InterPro domains, and KEGG revealed changes in gene transcription, mitochondrial protein translation, cellular components, and energy metabolism during spermiogenesis. The results provided considerable information about alternative splicing events, differentiallly expressed genes (DEGs), and novel transcriptions during spermiogenesis in mice.
