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

Collagen VI (ColVI) is an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein involved in a range of physiological and pathological conditions. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a powerful model organism for studying vertebrate development and for in vivo analysis of tissue patterning. Here, we performed a thorough characterization of ColVI gene and protein expression in zebrafish during development and adult life. Bioinformatics analyses confirmed that zebrafish genome contains single genes encoding for α1(VI), α2(VI) and α3(VI) ColVI chains and duplicated genes encoding for α4(VI) chains. At 1 day post-fertilization (dpf) ColVI transcripts are expressed in myotomes, pectoral fin buds and developing epidermis, while from 2 dpf abundant transcript levels are present in myosepta, pectoral fins, axial vasculature, gut and craniofacial cartilage elements. Using newly generated polyclonal antibodies against zebrafish α1(VI) protein, we found that ColVI deposition in adult fish delineates distinct domains in the ECM of several organs, including cartilage, eye, skin, spleen and skeletal muscle. Altogether, these data provide the first detailed characterization of ColVI expression and ECM deposition in zebrafish, thus paving the way for further functional studies in this species.
