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

Neurotrophins are molecules that regulate neuronal survival, nervous system plasticity, and many other physiological functions of neuronal and glial cells. Here we studied the physiological action of a novel neurosecretory polypeptide proline-rich polypeptide (PRP), isolated from bovine neurohypophysis neurosecretory granules, on voltage-gated Ca currents and spike firing activity of retinal ganglion cells. PRP reversibly increased high voltage-activated L-type Ca current, but was without effect on low voltage-activated T-type current. PRP also increased the spike after hyperpolarization and reduced the frequency of spike firing, most likely by affecting a Ca-dependent potassium current.
