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

The Ussuri catfish Pseudobagrus ussuriensis belongs to the XY sex-determination system of male heterogamy, exhibiting typical male-biased dimorphism during growth and development. Therefore, all-male breeding possesses substantial economic significance. It is fundamental to all-male breeding to obtain XY pseudo-female and YY super-male fish. In this study, fry (6 days post-hatching, 2-3 mm total body length) were treated with 17-β estradiol, at graded doses of 50, 100, 150, and 200 µg/L for 40 days to induce sex reversal. After treatment, XY pseudo-females were screened using male-specific molecular markers. Upon reaching sexual maturity, XY pseudo-females were mated with XY males by artificial insemination. After 1 year of rearing, YY super-males were identified from a mixed filial population. Subsequently, gonadal histological examination of XY pseudo-females and YY super-males was conducted. The results indicated that XY pseudo-females were produced across all four E2 concentrations. Higher rates of sex reversal and survival could be achieved under the treatment of 150 µg/L E
