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

Experimental mice play a critical role in biomedical research. The phenotype and application of different substrains vary due to genetic differentiation and variation. To ensure validity and reliability of results, it is imperative to adhere to standardized experiments and controls. This paper objectively reviews the origin, differentiation, and phenotypic and genetic differences between the C57BL/6 and BALB/c mouse substrains. Furthermore, an optimal selection strategy is proposed based on the genetic quality control technology to facilitate the precise application of these two mouse substrains.
