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

In Drosophila melanogaster, a specific PGAL4 transposon induces the Voila1 genetic variant and produces multiple phenotypes. Homozygous Voila1/1 flies rarely reach adulthood, whereas heterozygous Voila1/+ adult males show strong bisexual behavior. Males with a single copy of Voila1 driving the feminizing transgene UAS-transformer show very reduced sexual activity but no overall effect on their behavior. Voila1 is specifically expressed in the nervous system. In the CNS, it is expressed mainly in the mushroom bodies and, to a lesser extent, in the antennal lobes. In the peripheral nervous system, GAL4 expression is almost entirely restricted to the gustatory sensilla. Using chromosomal deficiencies, the behavioral alteration was genetically mapped to the same location as the PGAL4 element (86E1-2). The multiple behavioral effects of the Voila genetic variant are discussed in light of its expression in the nervous system and its genetic basis.
