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

NAADP (nicotinic acid-adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is a derivative of NADP (nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate), which differs by the presence of a nicotinic acid instead of a nicotinamide moiety. This small structural difference makes NAADP one of the most powerful second messengers known, able to mobilize intracellular Ca2+ in a wide range of cellular models, ranging from invertebrates to mammals. Despite this, our understanding of NAADP homoeostasis, metabolism and physiological action is still limited. A new report by Vasudevan and colleagues in this issue of the Biochemical Journal provides important new data by describing a new synthetic activity in sperm cells which may turn out to represent the most physiologically relevant route to this second messenger.
