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

Tissue allometry is under precise hormonal control for achieving the appropriate body size and shape. While juvenile hormone (JH) and 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) coordinate insect growth and development, their roles in regulating tissue allometry remain unclear. During molting cycles in the American cockroach, we reveal that JH promotes early, drastic fat body expansion, whereas 20E stimulates late, rapid wing pad growth. Through transcriptomic screening of early and late fat body and wing pads across the last five nymphal instars, plus JH-treated fat body and 20E-treated wing pads, we identify NFYB as the central spatiotemporal factor gene. Mechanistically, by transcriptionally activating the core translational machinery, NFYB promotes protein biosynthesis of hexamerin storage compounds in the early fat body and minichromosome maintenance complex in the late wing pads. Our findings demonstrate NFYB as a spatiotemporin that integrates different hormonal signals into distinct tissue allometry, shedding light on how appropriate body shape is achieved in animals.
