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 directionality of blood flow is regulated by heart valves, among other things. While the heart valves in vertebrates are multicellular and complex, the valve in the Drosophila heart consists of exactly two highly specialized cells. They arise during early larval development from two cardiomyocytes, those that form the boundary between the aorta and the posterior ventricle. Here, we show that the conserved PDGF signaling pathway is involved in the determination of heart valve cells. RNAi-mediated knockdown of the Pvr receptor and one of its ligands, Pvf2, leads to an inhibition of valve cell differentiation. In contrast, the simultaneous expression of the Pvr and Pvf2 in the entire heart tube leads to the formation of additional heart valve cells in ectopic positions. A single expression of the receptor or the ligand does not lead to heart valve formation.
