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

Embryogenesis, as well as regeneration, is increasingly recognized to be orchestrated by an interplay of transcriptional and bioelectric networks. Spatiotemporal patterns of resting potentials direct the size, shape, and locations of numerous organ primordia during patterning. These bioelectrical properties are established by the function of ion channels and pumps that set voltage potentials of individual cells, and gap junctions (electrical synapses) that enable physiological states to propagate across tissue networks. Functional experiments to probe the roles of bioelectrical states can be carried out by targeting endogenous ion channels during development. Here, we describe protocols, optimized for the highly tractable Xenopus laevis embryo, for molecular genetic targeting of ion channels and connexins based on CRISPR, and monitoring of resting potential states using voltage-sensing fluorescent dye. Similar strategies can be adapted to other model species.
