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 calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) plays a critical role incalcium (Ca(2+)) homeostasis, and it exists in Ca(2+) regulatory tissues such as parathyroid, kidney and intestine. As changes in the quality and quantity of CaSR mRNA may have an effect on sensing of extracellular Ca(2+) concentration,we analyzed the ontogeny and regulation by 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)) of CaSR mRNA expression in the kidney, intestine, and bone. In 6-week-old rats, CaSR mRNA was expressed as a majortranscript of 8.5 kb and as minor transcripts of 4.8 and 2.5 kb in the kidney, whereas it appeared as faint transcripts of 8.5, 4.0 and 2.5 kb in the intestine and calvaria.These results showed that CaSR mRNAs were expressed indifferent structures among these organs. Moreover, the levelof CaSR mRNA increased in the kidney from the embryo to theadult. In contrast, the CaSR mRNA level decreased in theintestine during this transition, and the level of it did notchange in the calvaria. Moreover, 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) up-regulated the level of CaSR mRNA in thekidneys in 6-week-old rats. On the other hand, the 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) did not affect the CaSR mRNA expression in the intestine or calvaria. We concluded that different transcripts of CaSR were expressed in rat kidney, intestine, and calvaria and that the level of CaSR mRNA was different atvarious developmental stages in the kidney and intestine. Morever, 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) regulated the expression of CaSR mRNA only in the kidney.
