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

backgroundThe visual system plays critical roles in fish feeding, predator avoidance, and reproduction, with the phototransduction pathway serving as the core molecular mechanism of visual signal transduction. This study represents the first systematic analysis of phototransduction-related genes in large yellow croaker (

methodsBioinformatics, transcriptomic analysis, and RT-qPCR were used to identify phototransduction-related genes in large yellow croaker and analyze their developmental expression patterns and responses to different light spectra.

resultsThirty phototransduction-related genes were identified, including genes involved in light perception, signal amplification, and signal termination and recovery. Structural analyses indicated that these genes were highly conserved in teleosts. Most genes showed low expression during 1-7 days post-hatching (dph), increased expression during 7-24 dph, and stable expression during 24-35 dph. Collectively, these results identify 15-24 dph as a critical developmental window for visual system maturation in large yellow croaker larvae. Under different spectral treatments at 15 dph, phototransduction-related genes exhibited wavelength-dependent expression patterns. Under the present experimental conditions, relatively higher expression levels of most phototransduction-related genes were observed under blue- and green-light treatments, whereas relatively lower expression levels were observed under the red-light treatment. Key downstream genes, including

conclusionsThis study revealed the developmental dynamics and spectral response characteristics of phototransduction-related genes in the large yellow croaker. These findings provide new insights into teleost visual development and light adaptation and provide a molecular basis for future studies aimed at optimizing light conditions during larval rearing in large yellow croaker aquaculture.
