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

Regeneration is a key developmental process by which organisms recover vital tissue and organ components following injury or disease. A growing interest is focused on the elucidation and characterization of the molecular mechanisms involved in these regenerative processes. We have now analyzed the possible role of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway on the regeneration of the intestine in the sea cucumber Holothuria glaberrima. For this we have studied the expression in vivo of Wnt-associated genes and have implemented the use of Dicer-substrate interference RNA (DsiRNA) to knockdown the expression of β-catenin transcript on gut rudiment explants. Neither cell dedifferentiation nor apoptosis were affected by the reduction of β-catenin transcripts in the gut rudiment explants. Yet, the number of proliferating cells decreased significantly following the interference, suggesting that the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays a significant role in cell proliferation, but not in cell dedifferentiation nor apoptosis during the regeneration of the intestine. The development of the in vitro RNAi protocol is a significant step in analyzing specific gene functions involved in echinoderm regeneration.
