Essential role of eIF5A-1 and deoxyhypusine synthase in mouse embryonic development.
Article in Amino acids, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 77 papers.
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.
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 eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) contains a polyamine-derived amino acid, hypusine [N(ε)-(4-amino-2-hydroxybutyl)lysine]. Hypusine is formed post-translationally by the addition of the 4-aminobutyl moiety from the polyamine spermidine to a specific lysine residue, catalyzed by deoxyhypusine synthase (DHPS), and subsequent hydroxylation by deoxyhypusine hydroxylase (DOHH). The eIF5A precursor protein and both of its modifying enzymes are highly conserved, suggesting a vital cellular function for eIF5A and its hypusine modification. To address the functions of eIF5A and the first modification enzyme, DHPS, in mammalian development, we knocked out the Eif5a or the Dhps gene in mice. Eif5a heterozygous knockout mice and Dhps heterozygous knockout mice were viable and fertile. However, homozygous Eif5a1 (gt/gt) embryos and Dhps (gt/gt) embryos died early in embryonic development, between E3.5 and E7.5. Upon transfer to in vitro culture, homozygous Eif5a (gt/gt) or Dhps (gt/gt) blastocysts at E3.5 showed growth defects when compared to heterozygous or wild type blastocysts. Thus, the knockout of either the eIF5A-1 gene (Eif5a) or of the deoxyhypusine synthase gene (Dhps) caused early embryonic lethality in mice, indicating the essential nature of both eIF5A-1 and deoxyhypusine synthase in mammalian development.
