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

Zebrafish are widely used to investigate visual function, owing to their well-defined retinal organization and optical transparency during early developmental stages. Here, we evaluate the effectiveness of a color vision optomotor response (CV-OMR) assay for assessing zebrafish with red cone ablation. Tg (thrb:gal4;UAS:epNTR-p2a-mCherry) transgenic zebrafish were used to ablate red cones via the addition of metronidazole (MTZ). Transgenic zebrafish larvae were treated with MTZ for 0, 12 and 24 h at 5 days post-fertilization, resulting in Tg(+)MTZ(-), Tg(+)MTZ(+)12 h and Tg(+)MTZ(+)24 h groups, respectively. The areas of mCherry-expressing cells, representing red cones in tissue sections, were compared. The mean mCherry expression area was smallest in the Tg(+)MTZ(+)24 h group (16.5 ± 7.6 μm
