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

Sensory inputs of temperature dynamics in the environment are essential for appropriate physiological outputs. The responsiveness of sensory neurons is maintained by functional thermosensor expression. However, the mechanism by which their expression is regulated is unclear. In this study, we identify a monoacylglycerol acyltransferase-coding gene named bishu-1 that contributes to maintaining the responsiveness of cool temperature sensing neurons in Drosophila. bishu-1 mutation leads to abnormal thermal avoidance in a cool temperature range. Cooling-induced responses in dorsal organ cool cells are weakened by the absence of bishu-1, and this is associated with reduced transcription of the ionotropic receptors IR25a and IR21a and a transcription factor broad. Our findings unveil a novel link between lipid metabolism and thermosensor function, thus providing new insights into mechanisms underlying the appropriate maintenance of sensory inputs.
