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

5'Hox genes regulate pattern formation along the axes of the limb. Previously, we showed that Hoxa13/Hoxd13 double-mutant newts lacked all digits of the forelimbs during development and regeneration, showing that newt Hox13 is necessary for digit formation in development and regeneration. In addition, we found another unique phenotype. Some of the Hox13 crispant newts showed hindlimb defects, in which whole or almost whole hindlimbs were lost, suggesting a novel function of Hox13 in limb development. Using germline mutants, we showed that mutation in Hox13 led to hindlimb defects. The limb buds of Hox13 crispants formed, however, did not show outgrowth. Expression of Fgf10 and Tbx4, which are involved in limb outgrowth, decreased in the hindlimb buds of Hox13 crispants. In addition, hindlimb defects were observed in both Fgf10 and Tbx4 crispant newts. Finally, Fgf10 and Tbx4 interacted with Hox13 genetically. Our results revealed a novel function of Hox13 in regulating the outgrowth of the newt hindlimb bud through interaction with Fgf10 and Tbx4.
