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

Retinoic acid is crucial for vertebrate embryogenesis, influencing anterior-posterior patterning and organogenesis through its interaction with nuclear hormone receptors comprising heterodimers of retinoic acid receptors (RARα, β, or γ) and retinoid X receptors (RXRα, β, or γ). Tissue retinoic acid levels are tightly regulated since both its excess and deficiency are deleterious. Dehydrogenase/reductase 3 (DHRS3) plays a critical role in this regulation by converting retinaldehyde to retinol, preventing excessive retinoic acid formation. Mutations in DHRS3 can result in embryonic lethality and congenital defects. This study shows that mouse Dhrs3 expression is responsive to vitamin A status and is directly regulated by the RAR/RXR complex through cis-regulatory elements. This highlights a negative feedback mechanism that ensures retinoic acid homeostasis.
