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

Nexilin (NEXN) plays a crucial role in stabilizing the sarcomeric Z-disk of striated muscle fibers and, when mutated, leads to dilated cardiomyopathy in humans. Due to its early neonatal lethality in mice, the detailed impact of the constitutive homozygous NEXN knockout on heart and skeletal muscle morphology and function is insufficiently investigated. Here, we characterized a constitutive homozygous CRISPR/Cas9-mediated nexn knockout zebrafish model. We found that Nexn deficient embryos developed significantly reduced cardiac contractility and under stressed conditions also impaired skeletal muscle organization whereas skeletal muscle function seemed not to be affected. Remarkably, in contrast to nexn morphants, CRISPR/Cas9 nexn
