Molecular composition of tight and adherens junctions in the rat olfactory epithelium and fila.

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
Tight and adherens junctions (TJs, AJs) between neurons, epithelial and glial cells provide barrier and adhesion properties in the olfactory epithelium (OE), and subserve functions such as compartmentalization and axon growth in the fila olfactoria (FO). Immunofluorescence and immunoelectronmicroscopy were combined in sections of rat OE and FO to document the cellular and subcellular localization of TJ proteins occludin(Occl), claudins(Cl) 1-5 and zonula occludens(ZO) proteins 1-3, and of AJ proteins N-cadherin(cad), E-cad, and alpha-, beta- and p120-catenin(cat). With the exception of Cl2, all TJ proteins were colocalized in OE junctions. Differences in relative immunolabeling intensities were noted between neuronal and epithelial TJs. In the FO, Cl5-reactivity was localized in olfactory ensheathing cell (OEC) junctions, Cl1-reactivity in the FO periphery, with differential colocalization with ZOs. Supporting cells formed N-cad-immunoreactive (ir) AJs with olfactory sensory neurons, E-cad-ir junctions with microvillar and gland duct cells, and both N-cad and E-cad-ir junctions in homotypic contacts. Alpha, beta- and p120-cat were localized in all AJs of the OE. AJs were scarce in the globose basal cell layer. Immature and mature neurons formed numerous contacts. In the FO, AJs were documented between OECs, between OECs and axons, and between axons. Most AJs colocalized N-cad with catenins, occasionally E-cad-ir AJs were found in the FO periphery. Characteristics of molecular composition suggest differential properties of TJs formed by neuronal, epithelial and glial cells in the OE and FO. The presence and molecular composition of AJs are consistent with a role of AJ proteins in neuroplastic processes in the peripheral olfactory pathway.
