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

Genetic interactions are adaptive within a species. Hybridization can disrupt such species-specific genetic interactions and creates novel interactions that alter the hybrid progeny overall fitness. Hybrid incompatibility, which refers to degenerative genetic interactions that decrease the overall hybrid survival and sterility, is one of the results from combining two diverged genomes in hybrids. The discovery of spontaneous lethal tumorigenesis and underlying genetic interactions in select hybrids between diverged Xiphophorus species showed that lethal pathological process can result from degenerative genetic interactions. Such genetic interactions leading to lethal phenotype are thought to shield gene flow between diverged species. However, hybrids between certain Xiphophorus species do not develop such tumors. Here we report the identification of a locus residing in the genome of one Xiphophorus species that represses an oncogene from a different species. Our finding provides insights into normal and pathological pigment cell development, regulation and a molecular mechanism in hybrid incompatibility.
