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 mammalian vomeronasal organ (VNO) has emerged as an excellent model to investigate the signaling mechanisms, mode of activation, biological function, and molecular evolution of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in real neurons and real physiological systems. TRPC2, a member of the canonical TRPC subfamily, is highly localized to the dendritic tip of vomeronasal sensory neurons. Targeted deletion of the TRPC2 gene has established that TRPC2 plays a fundamental role in the detection of pheromonal signals by the VNO. TRPC2-deficient mice exhibit striking behavioral defects in the regulation of sexual and social behaviors. A novel Ca(2+)-permeable, diacylglycerol-activated cation channel found at the dendritic tip of vomeronasal neurons is severely defective in TRPC2 mutants, providing the first clear example of native diacylglycerol-gated cation channels in the mammalian nervous system. The TRPC2 gene has become an important marker for the evolution of VNO-dependent pheromone signaling in primates.
