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

The Chinese giant salamander Andrias davidianus is a protected amphibian with high nutritional and economic value. Understanding its sex determination mechanism is important for improving culture techniques and sex control in breeding. However, little information on the characterization of critical genes involved in sex is available. Herein, sequencing of ovary and test produced 40,783,222 and 46,128,902 raw reads, respectively, which were jointly assembled into 80,497 unigenes. Of these, 36,609 unigenes were annotated, of which 8907 were female-biased and 10,385 were male-biased. Several sex-related pathways were observed, including the Wnt signaling pathway. After elevated temperature and estrogen exposure, neomale and neofemale specimens were identified by a female-specific marker for the first time. RT-qPCR analysis showed the expression profile of ten selected sex-biased genes to be exhibited consistently in male and neomale and in female and neofemale, with the exception of the Amh and TfIIIa genes. Results suggested that these genes may play important roles in A. davidianus sex determination and gonad development. This provides a basis for further investigation of the molecular mechanisms of sex determination in amphibians.
