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

backgroundInsights into the development and evolution of asymmetrical jaws will require an understanding of the gene regulatory networks that underpin the differential morphogenesis of the maxillary and mandibular domains of the first pharyngeal arch in a variety of gnathostomes. While a robust relationship has been demonstrated between jaw patterning and the Endothelin-Dlx gene axis, much less is known of the next level of genes in the jaw patterning hierarchy.

resultsSeveral genes, whose expression depends on Dlx5 and/or Dlx6, have been identified in mice. Here, we examined the expression patterns of the chick orthologues of some of those genes, namely GSC, PITX1, HAND2, and GBX2, and tested their dependence on endothelin signaling to assess whether there is a conserved regulatory relationship between those genes in the chick embryo. To further validate these genes as direct DLX targets, we identified conserved non-coding sequences containing candidate DLX binding motifs and demonstrated DLX-responsiveness in vitro.

conclusionsThe evidence presented in this study combines to support the hypothesis that these four genes are direct targets of DLX transcription factors in the lower jaw-forming tissue.
