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

The phenomenon of phenotype manifestation when the single allele in a haploid is affected is desirable for uncovering recessive mutations expeditiously in a diploid organism. However, experimentally generated haploids manifest extensive lethality and a cluster of non-specific developmental defects known as the haploid syndrome. This precludes the use of experimentally generated haploids for genetic screens due to an insufficient number of embryos for screening and the possibility of phenotypes due to the affected gene being masked by the haploid syndrome. We show here that gynogenic haploid zebrafish can be generated by irradiation of spermatozoa with a lower UV dosage than is currently used. This strategy results in reduced haploid lethality, incidence and severity of haploid syndrome. When viewed in the context of zebrafish as a genetically tractable model organism for forward and reverse genetic strategies, these results place zebrafish in a unique niche as a vertebrate in which haploid genetic screens for developmental phenotypes could be successfully attempted.
