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

Oligosyndactylism (Os) is a radiation-induced mutation on mouse chromosome 8 associated with early postimplantation lethality in homozygotes and abnormal development of the limbs and kidneys in heterozygotes. The recessive lethal effect of Os is due to a mitotic block of the embryonic cells that becomes apparent at the blastocyst stage, but it is not known if the heterozygous effect of Os is due to haploinsufficiency of the gene responsible for the mitotic arrest, or is due to mutation(s) of other gene(s). We have recently described a transgene-induced recessive mutation, 94-A/K, that results in early postimplantation death of the embryos, and we have mapped this mutation to the same region of chromosome 8 where Os has been assigned. On the basis of complementation tests between transgenic and Os/+ mice, in vitro growth characteristics and increased mitotic index of 94-A/K embryos, and molecular structural analysis of 94-A and 94-K transgenic and Os/+ mice, we conclude that the 94-A/K mutation represents a new allele of Os. This insertional mutation should facilitate the isolation of a mammalian gene essential for normal progression of the cell cycle beyond metaphase.
