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

Gene targeting by homologous recombination in mouse embryonic stem cells is a powerful technique to determine the physiological function of any gene product in embryonic and postnatal development and in molecular pathogenesis. Although the technique is very demanding and still in its developing stage several knockout mice carrying disrupted genes, which were once thought important for the development or molecular pathogenesis of certain tissues, have given unexpected results. A gene/function redundancy or superfluous and on-functional theory has been advanced by many investigators to explain the unexpected results. These surprising results may teach us a new lesson and lead to a revision of the strongly held view that highly conserved and abundantly expressed genes have a prominent role and function in cell physiology and development. Additional, they may also support the notion that molecular cross-talk among the genes may play an important role in determining the minimal phenotype.
