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

P450 aromatase (CYP19) is the terminal enzyme in the steroidogenic pathway and catalyzes the conversion of androgens to estrogens. Fundulus heteroclitus like other teleosts, express two CYP19 genes, CYP19A1 and CYP19A2. The expression of CYP19s in Fundulus was measured by in situ hybridization throughout development. In 90 dpf (day post-fertilization) fish and adult fish, CYP19A1 was expressed in the ooplasm of early stage I oocytes (primary growth stage). Expression of CYP19A1 was localized in the follicle cell layer of late stage I (previtellogenic stage) and stage II (vitellogenic stage) follicles, but by stage III (early maturational follicles) CYP19A1 expression was localized in the vitelline envelope. Overall, CYP19A1 oocyte membrane expression gradually declined from highest expression at late stage I to nondetectable levels by stage IV. Highest expression of CYP19A2 was detected in the brain including the hypothalamus from 4, 6, 8, 10, 14 dpf embryos, 90 dpf fry fish and adult fish brain. In females compared to males, there was higher CYP19A2 expression in olfactory bulb. In addition to the brain, there was strong CYP19A2 signal in adrenal/kidney cells in 6-14 dpf embryos. This work establishes the localization and constitutive expression of CYP19s in Fundulus which can then be compared with potential disruption of CYP19A1 and CYP19A2 expression and physiological consequences caused by environmental contaminants.
