Quantifying Nascent Transcription in Early Embryogenesis.

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.
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
The early embryonic genome exists in a dormant state following fertilization, and it then subsequently undergoes broad activation of zygotic transcription at the early stages of development. A major challenge is the detection of newly made zygotic transcripts and the determination of their activation onset time due to the presence of large and predominantly maternal pool of RNAs. Here we describe a detailed method to measure the zygotic transcription during zygotic genome activation (ZGA) of Xenopus early embryos using metabolic labeling of nascent transcripts with 5-ethynyl uridine (5-EU) followed by purifying and sequencing the nascent EU-RNAs (EU-RNA-seq). This method is highly sensitive in detecting early zygotic transcripts that are not detected by total RNA-seq and determines the actual onset time of transcriptional activation for zygotic genes. The method is applicable to a wide variety of embryonic model systems and has already afforded novel insights into gene regulation in early embryogenesis.
