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

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a central regulator of vertebrate reproduction regulating pituitary gonadotropins. In zebrafish, GnRH3 serves as the hypophysiotropic isoform. Its neurons develop by migrating from the nasal placode to the hypothalamus, forming several distinct subpopulations along the migratory path. However, the molecular heterogeneity underlying this migration remains incompletely understood. To delineate the molecular and spatial heterogeneity, we employed single-nuclei RNA sequencing of nuclei enriched based on gnrh3 promoter-driven EGFP fluorescence from 7 dpf Tg(gnrh3:EGFP) zebrafish. This was followed by GnRH3 neurons clustering, differentially expressed genes identification, trajectory inference as a hypothesis-generating framework, and functional analyses. Marker genes were selected and used for validation and to determine the distribution of each subcluster by in situ hybridization (ISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) in larval and adult zebrafish. Three subpopulations were identified featuring highly expressed marker genes: Gnrh3
