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

backgroundEnvironmental influence is critical for embryogenesis but is significantly under-appreciated under lab conditions, which are not typically designed to robustly test environmental variability. Here, we report environmental effects on the developmental phenotype of zebrafish lacking the transcription factor Grainyhead-like 3 (grhl3), a highly conserved gene that is pivotal in epithelial barrier formation, neurulation, craniofacial development, and convergence-extension.

resultsWe had previously reported that deletion of grhl3 led to embryonic lethality by 11 h post-fertilization (hpf); however, housing these grhl3-lines in a different aquatic facility led to substantial differences in phenotypic presentation in grhl3-nullizygous (grhl3

conclusionsOur study describes a new model of partial phenotypic penetrance in genetically identical embryos. This may serve as a valuable model system in which to understand gene-environment interactions in developmental and epithelial homeostasis.
