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 ability of random mutagenesis techniques to annotate the mammalian genome can be hampered due to genetic redundancy and compensatory pathways that mask heterozygous mutations under homeostatic conditions. The objective of this study was to devise a pharmacologically sensitized screen using the chemotherapeutic drug, 5-fluorouracil (5FU), to induce cytopenia. 5FU dose was optimized in the 129/SvImJ, C57BL/6J, BALB/cJ, and C3H/HeJ strains of laboratory mice. N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis was performed on 129/SvImJ males and phenotypic variants were identified by backcrossing on to the C57BL/6J background. G1 animals were challenged with 100 μg/g 5FU and phenodeviants with altered platelet recovery were monitored. Of 546 G1 animals tested, 15 phenodeviants were identified that displayed increased baseline platelet number, a platelet overshoot, or delayed platelet recovery, thereby demonstrating the utility of this approach for uncovering mutations in megakaryocyte and platelet development. Four G1 mice were selected for further analysis. The phenotypes were heritable in all four strains and genetic mapping identified a chromosome location in two of the three G2 lines tested. In conclusion, our group has developed a sensitized random mutagenesis screen utilizing 5FU and has shown that the strain combination of 129/SvImJ × C57BL/6J is robust for identification of founder lines with defects in megakaryocyte and platelet development.
