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

Thyroid hormone is a key regulator of post-embryonic vertebrate development. Skin is a biomedically important thyroid hormone target organ, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying skin pathologies associated with thyroid dysfunction remain obscure. The transparent skin of zebrafish is an accessible model system for studying vertebrate skin development. During post-embryonic development of the zebrafish, scales emerge in the skin from a hexagonally patterned array of dermal papillae, like other vertebrate skin appendages such as feathers and hair follicles. We show here that thyroid hormone regulates the rate of post-embryonic dermal development through interaction with nuclear hormone receptors. This couples skin development with body growth to generate a well ordered array of correctly proportioned scales. This work extends our knowledge of thyroid hormone actions on skin by providing in-vivo evidence that thyroid hormone regulates multiple aspects of dermal development.
