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

General anesthetics are small molecules that interact with and effect the function of many different proteins to promote loss of consciousness, amnesia, and sometimes, analgesia. Owing to the complexity of this state transition and the transient nature of these drug/protein interactions, anesthetics can be difficult to study. The zebrafish is an emerging model for the discovery of both new genes required for the response to and side effects of anesthesia. Here we discuss the tools available to manipulate the zebrafish genome, including both genetic screens and genome engineering approaches. Additionally, there are various robust behavior assays available to study anesthetic and other drug responses. These assays are available for single-gene study or high throughput for genetic or drug discovery. Finally, we present a case study of using propofol as an anesthetic in the zebrafish. These techniques and protocols make the zebrafish a powerful model to study anesthetic mechanisms and drug discovery.
