Subcellular localization of epidermal growth factor in human parotid gland.
Article in The Histochemical journal, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 intracellular distribution of epidermal growth factor was investigated in human parotid gland by immunogold cytochemistry at the electron-microscopy level. Epidermal growth factor immunoreactivity was demonstrated in both acini and ducts. In acinar cells, secretory granules appeared moderately stained, clearly indicating that parotid gland contributes to salivary epidermal growth factor through granule exocytosis. In ductal cells, gold particles were found to decorate numerous cytoplasmic vesicles, particularly abundant in striated duct cells. Since epidermal growth factor reactive vesicles were seen not only at the cellular apex, but nearby lateral plasma membranes as well, it leads to the hypothesis that epidermal growth factor may be discharged both apically into the saliva, and basally into the interstitium.
