Generation and characterization of a zebrafish muscle specific inducible Cre line.
Article in Transgenic research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Zebrafish transgenic lines provide valuable insights into gene functions, cell lineages and cell behaviors during development. Spatiotemporal control over transgene expression is a critical need in many experimental approaches, with applications in loss- and gain-of-function expression, ectopic expression and lineage tracing experiments. The Cre/loxP recombination system is a powerful tool to provide this control and the demand for validated Cre and loxP zebrafish transgenics is high. One of the major challenges to widespread application of Cre/loxP technology in zebrafish is comparatively small numbers of established tissue-specific Cre or CreERT2 lines. We used Tol2-mediated transgenesis to generate Tg(CrymCherry;-1.9mylz2:CreERT2) which provides an inducible CreERT2 source driven by muscle-specific mylz2 promoter. The transgenic specifically labels the trunk and tail skeletal muscles. We assessed the temporal responsiveness of the transgenic by screening with a validated loxP reporter transgenic ubi:Switch. Further, we evaluated the recombination efficiency in the transgenic with varying concentrations of 4-OHT, for different induction time periods and at different stages of embryogenesis and observed that higher recombination efficiency is achieved when embryos are induced with 10 μM 4-OHT from 10-somites or 24 hpf till 48 or 72 hpf. The transgenic is an addition to currently available zebrafish transgenesis toolbox and a significant tool to advance muscle biology studies in zebrafish.
