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

Ghrelin, a gastric peptide hormone, has been reported to regulate growth hormone secretion and energy homeostasis. Here we show that ghrelin promotes neural proliferation in vivo and in vitro in the rat dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMNV). Ghrelin receptor mRNA and immunoreactivity were detected in tissues from DMNV. Systemic administration of ghrelin (130 nmol kg(-1)) significantly increased 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation in the DMNV in adult rats with cervical vagotomy (BrdU positive cells; from 27 +/- 4 to 69 +/- 14 n = 5, P < 0.05). In vitro, exposure of cultured DMNV neurones to ghrelin significantly increased the percentage of BrdU incorporation into cells in both dose-dependent (10(-9) -10(-6)m), and time-dependent (6 h to 48 h) manners. Ghrelin significantly increased voltage-activated calcium currents in isolated single DMNV neurones from a mean maximal change of 141 +/- 26 pA to 227 +/- 37 pA. Upon removal of ghrelin, calcium currents slowly returned to baseline. Blocking L-type calcium channels by diltiazem (10 microm) significantly attenuated ghrelin-mediated increments in BrdU incorporation (n = 5, P < 0.05). Ghrelin acts directly on DMNV neurones to stimulate neurogenesis.
