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 family of the chromogranin/secretogranin proteins consists of three major subtypes: chromogranin A (CgA), chromogranin B (CgB) and secretogranin II (SgII). These proteins are present in various endocrine cells and organs. Using immunohistochemistry on serial semithin sections, we have investigated ten endocrine cell types of the guinea pig gastro-intestinal tract for their content of chromogranin/secretogranin proteins. The gastrin cell was the only cell type containing immunoreactivities for all three chromogranin subtypes. The majority of entero-endocrine cells showed immunoreactivities for CgA and SgII. Somatostatin cells lacked immunoreactivities for any of the chromogranins. Moreover, the densities of the corresponding immunoreactivities varied among the different endocrine cell types or even among endocrine cells of a given population. Aminergic endocrine cells (e.g., enterochromaffin and enterochromaffin-like cells) regularly exhibited strong immunoreactivities for CgA but failed to react for SgII. In peptidergic endocrine cells, the immunoreactivities for both CgA and SgII ranged from dense to faint. This was also true for CgB in gastrin cells. Hence, only CgA and SgII can be considered as regular constituents of entero-endocrine cells. The intercellular differences in immunoreactivities for all three chromogranin subtypes indicate that every endocrine cell has its own composition of chromogranin/secretogranin proteins. This may be due to differences in the regulation of biosynthesis or processing of the chromogranins in individual endocrine cells; this in turn might be related to the functional states of endocrine cells.
