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 expression and localization of aquaporins (AQP1-AQP5), members of the water channel family, in the developing rat submandibular gland were analysed using RT-PCR, Northern blotting and immunohistochemistry to explore their relation to the development of this salivary gland. RT-PCR analysis revealed unique expression patterns of each AQP. AQP1 was expressed constitutively during prenatal development, whereas the expression of AQP5 became more intense in the course of development from embryonic day 16.5 (E16) to E20. These expression patterns concurred with the results of Northern blot analysis. AQP3 and AQP4 mRNAs in the prenatal development were not detected in Northern blots, although they were detected by RT-PCR. During postnatal development, AQP5 and AQP1 mRNAs were expressed continuously, but no message for AQP3 or AQP4 was detected. AQP2 mRNA was not detected during either prenatal or postnatal development in this tissue. Immunohistochemical studies revealed that AQP5 was first localized at the apical membrane of proacinar cells at E18, and then became clearly distributed at the apical membrane of acinar cells in accordance with the differentiation and establishment of the mature acini. In addition, some vasculature also showed immunoreactivity for AQP5. AQP1 was immunolocalized in the blood vessels, including capillaries, of the gland throughout development. These observations suggest the existence of transcriptional regulation of rat AQP5, which is one of the most probable regulators of saliva production and secretion, during the establishment of the functional submandibular salivary gland.
