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

Hormonal regulation of adrenal function occurs primarily through G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), which may play different roles in fetal vs. adult adrenal glands. In this study, we compared the transcript levels of GPCR between fetal and adult adrenal and found that gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR), latrophilin 3 receptor, G protein-coupled receptor 37, angiotensin II receptor type 2, latrophilin 2 receptor and melanocortin receptor were expressed at significantly higher levels in fetal adrenal. High GnRHR protein expression was also detected in fetal adrenal using immunohistochemical analysis. To define potential ligand sources for fetal adrenal GnRHR, we demonstrated that GnRH1 mRNA was expressed at high levels in the placenta, while fetal adrenal had high expression of GnRH2. In summary, certain GPCR particularly GnRHR were highly expressed in fetal adrenal and the expression of GnRH mRNA in the placenta and the fetal adrenal raises the possibility of endocrine and/or paracrine/autocrine influences on fetal adrenal function. However, the exact function of GnRHR in fetal adrenal remains to be determined.
