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

Microinjection technique is one of the essential methodologies that are used widely in zebrafish research. Microinjection is utilized to perform genetic manipulations within the developing zebrafish model. Further, this technique is used to study a wide range of genetic diseases and gene of interest role in early developmental processes. Thus, quality control for microinjection is an essential factor to ensure experimental reproducibility and consistency. In this technical note, in vitro transcribed synthetic mRNA encoding green fluorescence protein (eGFP), and red fluorescent protein (m-cherry) as well as fluorescein and rhodamine fluorescent dyes were injected into a single-cell zebrafish embryo for volume quality control. Given the importance of having quality control system and methodology to yield similar genetic manipulation within the zebrafish embryo:•We aimed to establish the unified delivery of injected material into zebrafish one cell stage embryo.•We aimed to establish consistency of the injected volume into mineral oil droplets that will serve as a quality control parameter to conforms a quality control practice to ensure the reproducibility of the microinjection technique.•The calibration of microinjection droplet size resulted in the visualization of fluorescent protein and dyes in the zebrafish embryo with precise volumes of delivered materials under the control of needle opening, injection pressure and time.
