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

Lifeact-GFP is a frequently used molecular probe to study F-actin structure and dynamic assembly in living cells. In this study, we generated transgenic zebrafish models expressing Lifeact-GFP specifically in cardiac muscles to investigate the effect of Lifeact-GFP on heart development and its application to study cardiomyopathy. The data showed that transgenic zebrafish with low to moderate levels of Lifeact-GFP expression could be used as a good model to study contractile dynamics of actin filaments in cardiac muscles
