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 heat shock response is important for the viability of all living organisms. It involves the induction of heat shock proteins whose expression is mainly regulated by heat shock factor 1 (HSF1). Medaka (Oryzias latipes) is a teleost fish with an XX/XY sex determination system. High water temperature (HT) inhibits the female-type proliferation of germ cells and induces the masculinisation of XX medaka in some cases during gonadal sex differentiation. Here, we investigated the roles of HSF1 on the proliferation of germ cells using HSF1 knockout medaka. Loss of HSF1 function under HT completely inhibited the female-type proliferation of germ cells, induced the expression of the anti-Mullerian hormone receptor type 2 (amhr2) and apoptosis-related genes, and suppressed that of the dead end (dnd) and heat shock protein-related genes. Moreover, the loss of HSF1 and AMHR2 function under HT recovered female-type proliferation in germ cells, while loss of HSF1 function under HT induced gonadal somatic cell apoptosis during early sex differentiation. These results strongly suggest that HSF1 under the HT protects the female-type proliferation of germ cells by inhibiting amhr2 expression in gonadal somatic cells. These findings provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying environmental sex determination.
