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 V(2) vasopressin receptor gene contains an alternative splice site in exon-3, which leads to the generation of two splice variants (V(2a) and V(2b)) first identified in the kidney. The open reading frame of the alternatively spliced V(2b) transcript encodes a truncated receptor, showing the same amino acid sequence as the canonical V(2a) receptor up to the sixth transmembrane segment, but displaying a distinct sequence to the corresponding seventh transmembrane segment and C-terminal domain relative to the V(2a) receptor. Here, we demonstrate the postnatal expression of V(2a) and V(2b) variants in the rat cerebellum. Most importantly, we showed by in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry that both V(2) splice variants were preferentially expressed in Purkinje cells, from early to late postnatal development. In addition, both variants were transiently expressed in the neuroblastic external granule cells and Bergmann fibers. These results indicate that the cellular distributions of both splice variants are developmentally regulated, and suggest that the transient expression of the V(2) receptor is involved in the mechanisms of cerebellar cytodifferentiation by AVP. Finally, transfected CHO-K1 expressing similar amounts of both V(2) splice variants, as that found in the cerebellum, showed a significant reduction in the surface expression of V(2a) receptors, suggesting that the differential expression of the V(2) splice variants regulates the vasopressin signaling in the cerebellum.
