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

Doublesex and Mab-3 (DMRT) gene family is a diverse group of transcriptional factors crucially involved in sex differentiation and biological processes such as body growth and differentiation in vertebrates. In this study, we analyzed DMRT genes structural characterization and physiochemical properties, and elucidated their functional role as a ligand of different gonadal receptors including androgen (AR), estrogen β (ER-β), estrogen γ (ER-γ), and progesterone (PR). All six genes of the DMRT gene family in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon Idella Valenciennes, 1844) exhibited an acidic nature. These DMRT genes are primarily localized in the nucleus, where they play a role in DNA binding via doublesex DNA binding motif. All the DMRT gene pairs are under strong purifying selection with two segmental duplications envisaged about 18.30 (DMRT3a/DMRTA2) and 24.90 (DMRT2b/DMRT2a) million years ago (MYA). Recombination analysis revealed six potential recombinant breakpoints posing substantial evolutionary pressure for diverse cellular functioning of DMRT isoforms. Moreover, the DMRTA1 protein had a highest binding affinity of - 270.42 and - 267.16 for androgen receptors (AR) and progesterone receptors (PR), whereas, for estrogen receptors ER-β and ER-γ, the maximum binding affinity was observed with DMRT2a and DMRT2b proteins showing a docking score of - 254.22 and - 261.71, respectively. First time we studied the binding scores and interface residues of the DMRT genes as a ligand of gonadal receptors that play a crucial role in fish growth, sex development and differentiation, and spermatogenesis and oocyte maturation. The present study provides a molecular basis for DMRT genes in grass carp that may serve as a reference for in-depth phylogenomic study in other species.
