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 localization of adipocyte-type fatty acid binding protein (A-FABP) in the mature mouse ovary was examined by immuno-light and electron microscopy. Solitary round cells showing the distinct immunoreactivity for A-FABP were detected in 1-6 antral follicles. In sets of two consecutive sections in a mirror alignment on slide glasses which were treated for immunoreactivity for A-FABP and TUNEL reaction separately, cells immunoreactive for A-FABP appeared in the same antral follicles as containing cells exhibiting TUNEL-reaction. In immunoelectron microscopy, A-FABP-immunopositive cells were found to contain highly electron-dense nuclei of round, irregular or crescent shapes together with cytoplasmic remnants without any features of macrophages or cells of extrinsic origin. Therefore the cells were identified as apoptotic granulosa cells. The apoptotic cells immunoreactive for A-FABP were often seen to be enclosed/engulfed in adjacent cells exhibiting normal ultrastructures without containing numerous lysosomes. The present findings suggest that A-FABP is involved in the apoptosis of ovarian granulosa cells, probably through its interaction with peroxisome proliferator activated receptors.
