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

Extracellular matrix (ECM) plays fundamental roles in animal development, regeneration and disease. The difficulty of tagging endogenous matrix proteins in vertebrates has limited the understanding of ECM composition and dynamics in complex tissues. To visualize vertebrate ECM components, we tagged zebrafish Laminin, gamma 1 (Lamc1), Collagen, type I, alpha 2 (Col1a2), and Transforming growth factor, β-induced (Tgfbi) using C-terminus in-fusion genome editing. Analysis of these knock-in lines revealed distinct expression of each protein in various tissues during development and regeneration. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching analysis further indicated that Lamc1 is stable in fin fold matrix but more dynamic in myoseptal matrix of developing zebrafish, while Col1a2 and Tgfbi are stable matrix components in myosepta. Strikingly, we found that Col1a2-mScarlet protein accumulates at the amputation plane during tailfin regeneration, where it remains concentrated for several days and distant from the regeneration blastema. This 'foundation' region also displays a distinct transcriptome, suggesting active and dedicated events at the base of the regenerating appendage. Our resource enables live capture of ECM dynamics that can identify new events in developing and regenerating zebrafish.
