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

Few studies have investigated the subcellular effects of low temperature on gene expression in shrimp and most other crustaceans. Before gene expression analysis is conducted, suitable housekeeping genes (HKGs) must be confirmed to account for differences in reverse transcription process efficiency among samples. Thus, this study aimed to verify five frequently used HKGs, namely 18S ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA), ATPase, histone 3, β-actin, and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gapdh) for use in experiments for assessing the molecular-scale effects of cryopreservation on coral banded shrimp (Stenopus hispidus) embryos. To conduct chilling studies, we subjected S. hispidus embryos to incubation at either 26 °C (control) or 5 °C for 0, 4, 8, 16, or 32 h. The software tools GeNorm, NormFinder, and Bestkeeper were employed to identify the most suitable HKG. GeNorm identified histone 3 and 18S rRNA as the most stable genes. By contrast, NormFinder determined that 18S rRNA is a stable gene for eye-formation and pre-hatch stage samples. Finally, Bestkeeper determined that gapdh and β-actin are the most suitable genes. This study is the first to identify suitable HKGs for studying shrimp embryos at low temperatures. Its findings can aid future research on evaluating the effects of cryopreservation on gene expression in crustaceans.
