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

The zebrafish system offers many unique opportunities for the study of molecular biology. To date, only random mutagenesis, and not directed gene knockouts, have been demonstrated in this system. To more fully develop the potential of the zebrafish system, an approach to effectively inhibit the expression of any targeted gene in the developing zebrafish embryo has been developed. This approach uses a transient, cytoplasmic, T7 expression system, injected into the fertilized zebrafish egg to rapidly produce high levels of a ribozyme directed against the mRNA encoded by the targeted gene to inhibit its expression. In a demonstration of this strategy, expression of the recessive dominant zebrafish no tail gene was effectively inhibited by using this strategy to yield a phenotype identical to that resulting from a known defective mutation in this same gene. This, ribozyme-mediated, message deletion strategy may have use in determining the function of genetic coding sequences of unknown function.
