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

Mammalian cardiomyocytes (CMs) mostly become polyploid shortly after birth. Because this feature may relate to several aspects of heart biology, including regeneration after injury, the mechanisms that cause polyploidy are of interest. BALB/cJ and BALB/cByJ mice are highly related sister strains that diverge substantially in CM ploidy. We identified a large deletion in the Cyth1 gene that arose uniquely in BALB/cByJ mice that creates a null allele. The deletion also results in ectopic transcription of the downstream gene Dnah17, although this transcript is unlikely to encode a protein. By evaluating the natural null allele from BALB/cByJ and an engineered knockout allele in the C57BL/6J background, we determined that absence of Cyth1 does not by itself influence CM ploidy. The ready availability of BALB/cByJ mice may be helpful to other investigations of Cyth1 in other biological processes.
