Effects of high dose retinoic acid on TGF-beta2 expression during pancreatic organogenesis.
Article in Journal of molecular histology, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 aim of this study was to investigate the effects of excess all-trans retinoic acid, a vitamin A metabolite, on pancreatic organogenesis and TGF-beta2 expression during prenatal development in rats. First group of animals used as control while a single dose of 60 mg/kg all-trans retinoic acid was ingested by the mothers, at day 8 of gestation (before the neurulation period) in group II and at day 12 of gestation (after the neurulation period) in group III, and all embryos were sacrificed at day 18 of gestation. TGF-beta2 expression was detected in the capsule, acini and Langerhans islets in the control group. In the pancreas of group II, dilatation and congestion of interlobular vessels were observed. Langerhans islet structures were completely absent. Moreover acinar TGF-beta2 immune reactivity was not determined. In group III, acinar expression of TGF-beta2 in acid was similar to that in the controls but their Langerhans islets TGF-beta2 immune reactivity was significantly less than the controls. In view of the present findings we suggest that TGF-beta2 plays important role in pancreatic morphogenesis and administration of excess all-trans retinoic acid before neurulation inhibit TGF-beta2 expression disrupted pancreatic morphogenesis particularly Langerhans islets. However, its administration after neurulation had less adverse affect on pancreatic organogenesis and TGF-beta2 immune reactivity.
