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

Dmrt1, a member of the Dmrt family, is an important transcription regulator of gender determination. To study the biological function of dmrt1 in sexual differentiation and its potential implication in breeding technology, we obtained the full-length cDNA and proximal promoter sequence of dmrt1 in Culter alburnus, and analyzed the impact of promoter CpG methylation on the gene expression pattern of dmrt1 during gonad development. Dmrt1 was 922 bp in length and consisted a 150 bp 5'-UTR, a 28 bp 3'-UTR, and a 744 bp open reading frame (ORF). Based on the coding sequence of the dmrt1 gene, the deduced amino acid sequence was detected, and the protein structure of this gene was predicted in C. alburnus. The results indicate that the structure and function of dmrt1 were highly conservative compared to other vertebrates. The expression level of dmrt1 mRNA in different tissues was explored by qRT-PCR, which was only highly expressed in the testes and almost undetectable in other tissues. The CpG methylation pattern of the dmrt1 promoter was studied using DNA sequencing of sodium bisulfite in adult testes and ovaries, and it was found that dmrt1 promoter CpGs were not methylated in the testes, whereas hypermethylated in the ovaries. These findings demonstrate that DNA methylation can regulate sexual dimorphic expression of dmrt1, and therefore epigenetic modifications may play a critical role in the gonad differentiation of C. alburnus.
