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

Vertebrates have developed various modes of reproduction, some of which are found in Teleosts. Over 300 species of the Syngnathidae (seahorses, pipefishes and seadragons) exhibit male pregnancies; the males have specialized brood pouches that provide immune protection, nourishment, and oxygen regulation. Chemokines play a vital role at the mammalian maternal-fetal interface; however, their functions in fish reproduction are unclear. This study revealed the evolutionary traits and potential functions of chemokine genes in 22 oviparous, ovoviviparous, and viviparous fish species through comparative genomic analyses. Our results showed that chemokine gene copy numbers and evolutionary rates vary among species with different modes of reproduction.
