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 genetic pathways that control development of the early mammalian embryo have remained poorly understood, in part because the systematic mutant screens that have been so successful in the identification of genes and pathways that direct embryonic development in Drosophila, Caenorhabditis elegans, and zebrafish have not been applied to mammalian embryogenesis. Here we demonstrate that chemical mutagenesis with ethylnitrosourea can be combined with the resources of mouse genomics to identify new genes that are essential for mammalian embryogenesis. A pilot screen for abnormal morphological phenotypes of midgestation embryos identified five mutant lines; the phenotypes of four of the lines are caused by recessive traits that map to single regions of the genome. Three mutant lines display defects in neural tube closure: one is caused by an allele of the open brain (opb) locus, one defines a previously unknown locus, and one has a complex genetic basis. Two mutations produce novel early phenotypes and map to regions of the genome not previously implicated in embryonic patterning.
