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

Whole mount in situ hybridization is a method of viewing gene expression in intact tissue, developing embryos, and tadpoles. It uses labeled, in vitro transcribed RNA probes to specifically bind to mRNA through complementary base pairing. Unlike protein detection, making an antisense RNA probe requires only knowledge of the corresponding coding sequence. It is therefore accessible for any gene, and has contributed hugely to our understanding of how genes shape development. This protocol highlights the key considerations balancing fixation and permeabilization to preserve tissue while allowing the probe to enter cells, and to optimise signal-to-noise for the colorimetric reaction.
