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 vivo cell ablation technologies are essential tools for understanding biological processes within living animal models. The nitroreductase (NTR)/metronidazole system enables highly effective spatiotemporal cell ablation. Using transgenic zebrafish that combine NTR2.0 with the QF3/QUAS binary gene expression system, conditions to achieve efficient cell type-specific chemogenetic ablation were optimized. This approach provides a versatile in vivo platform for investigating developmental processes and regeneration, as well as for disease modeling and drug discovery.
