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 mammalian muscularized diaphragm is essential for respiration and defects in the developing diaphragm cause a common and frequently lethal birth defect, congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Human genetic studies have implicated more than 150 genes and multiple molecular pathways in CDH, but few of these have been validated because of the expense and time to generate mouse mutants. The pleuroperitoneal folds (PPFs) are transient embryonic structures in diaphragm development and defects in PPFs lead to CDH. We have developed a system to culture PPF fibroblasts from E12.5 mouse embryos and show that these fibroblasts, in contrast to the commonly used NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, maintain expression of key genes in normal diaphragm development. Using pharmacological and genetic manipulations that result in CDH in vivo, we also demonstrate that differences in proliferation provide a rapid means of distinguishing healthy and impaired PPF fibroblasts. Thus, the PPF fibroblast cell culture system is an efficient tool for assaying the functional significance of CDH candidate genes and molecular pathways and will be an important resource for elucidating the complex etiology of CDH.
