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 coexistence of serotonin and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in neuroepithelial bodies of the bandicoot, Isoodon macrourus, has been examined using immunocytochemistry at the light- and electron-microscope levels. The avidin-biotin technique of antigen localisation was used initially to identify serotonin-like and CGRP-like immunoreactivity (-LI). Serotonin-LI and CGRP-LI were found in neuroepithelial cells in the lungs of 30-day-old bandicoots. CGRP-LI could also be demonstrated in nerve fibres associated with some neuroepithelial bodies. The protein A-gold technique of antigen localisation was used to label neuroepithelial cells and nerve fibres at the subcellular level. Serotonin-LI and CGRP-LI were observed in the same dense-cored vesicles of most neuroepithelial cells; however, some neuroepithelial cells were shown to possess serotonin-LI without CGRP-LI. Nerve fibres immediately adjacent to neuroepithelial bodies exhibited mainly CGRP-LI. These results show that serotonin-LI and CGRP-LI are present in neuroepithelial cells of the bandicoot in the same secretory vesicles. This pattern of co-localisation may reflect co-ordinated or synergistic actions of these two neuroactive substances.
