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

Whole-mount in situ hybridization (WISH), colorimetric or fluorescent (FISH), allows for the visualization of endogenous RNA. For planarians, robust WISH protocols exist for small-sized animals (>5 mm) of the model species Schmidtea mediterranea and Dugesia japonica. However, the sexual strain of Schmidtea mediterranea studied for germline development and function reaches much larger body sizes in excess of 2 cm. The existing whole-mount WISH protocols are not optimal for such large specimens, owing to insufficient tissue permeabilization. Here, we describe a robust WISH protocol for 12-16 mm long sexually mature Schmidtea mediterranea individuals that could serve as a starting point for adapting WISH to other large planarian species.
