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

Intermuscular bones (IBs) are little bony spicules found in muscle, which are unsafe for human consumption and detrimental to the processing and export of aquatic products. So, studying the development of IBs in aquaculture species is important. We have learned that the IBs of Acrossocheilus wenchowensis are soft and do not affect its consumption, but its development mechanism is not yet fully understood. In this study, we sequenced the transcriptome of epaxial muscle of A. wenchowensis at three key stages (NIB: IBs not yet emerged, 19 days; LIB: several small IBs starting to appear, 25 days; and CIB: all IBs have appeared and have mature morphology, 1 year), and the results showed that 211 overlapping differentially expressed genes (DEGs) function mainly in Wnt, PI3K-Akt, MAPK and TGF-β signalling pathways. Analysing the transcriptome data, eight genes related to IBs were differentially expressed in the NIB, LIB and CIB groups. To further explore the expression pattern of genes, we analysed the expression of genes on different days (18 days, 19 days, 20 days, 24 days, 25 days, 26 days, 1 year) using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Our results suggested that scx, alpl, bgp and sost genes may play important roles in the formation, ossification and mineralization of IBs. We provide new insights into the development mechanism of IBs of A. wenchowensis.
