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

Molecular mechanisms underlying olfactory signal amplification were investigated by monitoring cAMP dynamics in the intact sensory cilia. We saw that [cAMP]i increased superlinearly with time during odorant stimuli for >1 s. This time course was remarkably different from that obtained with the rapid quench method previously applied to the in vitro preparation, in which [cAMP]i change has been reported to be transient. The superlinear increase of [cAMP]i was attributable to a gradual increase of cAMP production rate that was consistent with the thermodynamical interaction model between elemental molecules, as has been revealed on the rod photoreceptor cell. It thus seems likely that the fundamental mechanism for molecular interactions between olfactory transduction elements is similar to that of the rod. In olfaction, however, cAMP production was extremely small (approximately 200,000 molecules/s/cell at the maximum), in contrast to the cGMP hydrolysis in the rod (250,000 molecules/photon). The observed numbers indicate that the olfactory receptor cell has lower amplification at the enzymatic cascade. Seemingly, such low amplification is a disadvantage for the signal transduction, but this unique mechanism would be essential to reduce the loss of ATP that is broadly used for the activities of cells. Apparently, transduction by a smaller number of second-messenger formations would be achieved by the fine ciliary structure that has a high surface-volume ratio. In addition, it is speculated that this low amplification at their enzymatic processes may be the reason why the olfactory receptor cell has acquired high amplification at the final stage of transduction channels, using Ca2+ as a third messenger.
