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

Hox genes are located in highly conserved clusters. The significance of this organization is unclear, but one possibility is that regulatory regions for individual genes are dispersed throughout the cluster and shared with other Hox genes. This hypothesis is supported by studies on several Hox genes in which even large genomic regions immediately surrounding the gene fail to direct the complete expression pattern in transgenic mice. In particular, previous studies have identified proximal regulatory regions that are primarily responsible for early phases of mouse Hoxc8 expression. To locate additional regulatory regions governing expression during the later periods of development, a yeast homologous recombination-based strategy utilizing the pClasper vector was employed. Using homologous recombination into pClasper, we cloned a 27-kb region around the Hoxc8 gene from a yeast artificial chromosome. A reporter gene was introduced into the coding region of the isolated gene by homologous recombination in yeast. This large fragment recapitulates critical aspects of Hoxc8 expression in transgenic mice. We show that the regulatory elements that maintain the anterior boundaries of expression in the neural tube and paraxial mesoderm are located between 11 and 19 kb downstream of the gene.
