Anatomy and Function of Deleted in Azoospermia Like (DAZL) Gene in Human and Mouse.
Article in Development & reproduction, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 deleted in azoospermia like (DAZL) gene is a member of the DAZ gene family. It is firstly identified in male germ cells and recognized as a key molecule of their development, now it is extended to the female germ cells and the embryo. The DAZL gene is constructed with 11 exons, 10 introns, a 5' untranslated region (UTR), and a 3' UTR, and the enhancers at the upstream of the promoter in both human and mouse. It has been revealed that DAZL gene expression is not restricted to germ cells. The known mechanisms for expression regulation include the CpG methylation on the promoter region and post-transcriptional regulation by antagonistic proteins. DAZL protein has one RNA recognition motif (RRM) and one DAZ repeat. DAZL orchestrates the translation of numerous mRNAs essential for germ cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Several studies have unveiled DAZL's broader roles, including its involvement in stemness and tumorigenicity through post-transcriptional regulation via polyadenylation and potential functions in RNA stabilization. The alternatively spliced variants are also evaluated in different tissues. This review consolidates current knowledge on DAZL's molecular mechanisms, expression, and emerging research directions, and introduces DAZL gene anatomy.
