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

In the early zebrafish neural plate, proneural cluster domains are defined by surrounding neural progenitor pools (NPPs), generating primary neurogenesis patterns. In each NPP, several Notch-independent Hes/her-type genes are expressed in distinct manners. Previous knockdown (KD) experiments induced ectopic neurogenesis in NPPs where only the targeted her genes were expressed, with other her genes absent, suggesting cooperative functions of Notch-independent her genes. In this study, to overcome the inherent limitations in KD approaches, we knocked out (KO) three her genes, her3, her5, and her11, using genome editing techniques. The resulting mutants exhibited ectopic neurogenesis patterns at the end of gastrulation, similar to those observed in KD experiments. KOs of her5 and her11 induced ectopic neurogenesis around the midbrain-hindbrain boundary, whereas her3 KO led to ectopic neurogenesis in rhombomere 1/2 and r4. In these cases, the expression of other Notch-independent her genes was not affected, except for her11, whose expression depended on her5. Analyses of compound mutants revealed that their phenotypes were essentially the sum of those of individual her mutants, indicating independent suppression of neurogenesis by Notch-independent her genes. In conclusion, different Notch-independent her genes collectively define the characteristic pattern of primary neurogenesis in the neural plate.
