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

Site-specific incorporation of unnatural amino acids into proteins provides a powerful tool to study protein function. Here we report genetic code expansion in zebrafish embryos and its application to the optogenetic control of cell signaling. We genetically encoded four unnatural amino acids with a diverse set of functional groups, which included a photocaged lysine that was applied to the light-activation of luciferase and kinase activity. This approach enables versatile manipulation of protein function in live zebrafish embryos, a transparent and commonly used model organism to study embryonic development.
