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

β-catenin is a key signalling molecule in the canonical Wnt pathway, which plays a role in cell adhesion, embryogenesis and sex determination. However, little is known about its function in teleosts. We cloned and characterized the full-length β-catenin1 gene from half-smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis), which was designated CS-β-catenin1. The CS-β-catenin1 cDNA consists of 2,346 nucleotides and encodes a protein with 782 amino acids. Although CS-β-catenin1 was transcribed in the gonads of both sexes, the level was significantly higher in ovaries compared to testes. Furthermore, the mRNA level of CS-β-catenin1 was significantly upregulated at 160 days and constantly increased until 2 years of age. In situ hybridization revealed that CS-β-catenin1 mRNA was mainly localized in oocyte cells, especially in stage I, II and III oocytes. When CS-β-catenin1 expression was inhibited by injection of quercetin in the ovaries, levels of CS-Figla and CS-foxl2 mRNA were significantly down-regulated, and CS-dmrt1 was up-regulated, which suggested that CS-β-catenin1 is a potential upstream gene of CS-Figla and is involved in the development of the ovaries, i.e., folliculogenesis.
