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

Thyroid hormone (T3) affects development and metabolism in vertebrates. We have been studying intestinal remodeling during T3-dependent Xenopus metamorphosis as a model for organ maturation and formation of adult organ-specific stem cells during vertebrate postembryonic development, a period characterized by high levels of plasma T3. T3 is believed to affect development by regulating target gene transcription through T3 receptors (TRs). While many T3 response genes have been identified in different animal species, few have been shown to be direct target genes in vivo, especially during development. Here we generated a set of genomic microarray chips covering about 8000 bp flanking the predicted transcription start sites in Xenopus tropicalis for genome wide identification of TR binding sites. By using the intestine of premetamorphic tadpoles treated with or without T3 and for chromatin immunoprecipitation assays with these chips, we determined the genome-wide binding of TR in the control and T3-treated tadpole intestine. We further validated TR binding in vivo and analyzed the regulation of selected genes. We thus identified 278 candidate direct TR target genes. We further provided evidence that these genes are regulated by T3 and likely involved in the T3-induced formation of adult intestinal stem cells during metamorphosis.
