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

Synthesis of most of the plasma proteins is one of the main functions of the hepatocytes. Albumin synthesis is quantitatively the most abundant. In the present study we investigated albumin- and alpha-fetoprotein-gene-expression, and the function of the secretory apparatus during rat liver development. To this purpose we used the method of radioactive biosynthetic labeling of newly synthesized albumin and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) to monitor the secretory capacity of endodermal cells derived from ventral foregut region (embryonic day 10, E10), and of embryonic and fetal hepatoblasts. Synthesis and secretion of albumin and AFP were already detected in the low numbered ventral foregut endodermal cells; fibrinogen synthesis was detectable in the E12 hepatoblasts, which were in higher number. The whole secretory machinery was functional from the earliest stages of liver development, and the speed of secretion was comparable with that of the adult hepatocytes. There was almost 4-fold increase of hepatoblasts cell volume in fetal stage compared with embryonic stage. The model used suggests that the hepatocyte secretory apparatus is already functional before the emergence of the liver bud. This is the first comparative report to analyze the hepatocyte secretory function, cell proliferation and cell volume during liver development.
