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

Protein 4.1 families have recently been established as potential organizers of an adherens system. In the adult mouse testis, protein 4.1G (4.1G) localized as a line pattern in both basal and adluminal compartments of the seminiferous tubules, attaching regions of germ cells and Sertoli cells. By double staining for 4.1G and F-actin, their localizations were shown to be different, indicating that 4.1G was localized in a region other than the basal and apical ectoplasmic specializations, which formed the Sertoli-Sertoli cell junction and Sertoli-spermatid junction, respectively. By electron microscopy, immunoreactive products were seen exclusively on the cell membranes of Sertoli cells, attaching to the various differentiating germ cells. The immunolocalization of cadherin was identical to that of 4.1G, supporting the idea that 4.1G may be functionally interconnected with adhesion molecules. In an experimental mouse model of cadmium treatment, in which tight and adherens junctions of seminiferous tubules were disrupted, the 4.1G immunostaining in the seminiferous tubules was dramatically decreased. These results indicate that 4.1G may have a basic adhesive function between Sertoli cells and germ cells from the side of Sertoli cells.
