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 pulsatile secretion of GnRH from normal and immortalized hypothalamic GnRH neurons is highly calcium-dependent and is stimulated by cAMP. It is also influenced by agonist activation of the endogenous GnRH receptor (GnRH-R), which couples to multiple G proteins. This autocrine mechanism could serve as a timer to determine the frequency of pulsatile GnRH release by regulating Ca(2+)- and cAMP-dependent signaling and GnRH neuronal firing. The firing of individual and/or bursts of action potentials (APs) in spontaneously active GnRH neurons is followed by afterhyperpolarization (AHP) that lasts from several milliseconds to several seconds. GnRH-induced activation of GnRH neurons causes a significant increase in medium AHP that is partially sensitive to apamin. GnRH-induced modulation of Ca(2+) influx and the consequent changes in AHP current suggest that the GnRH receptors expressed in hypothalamic GnRH neurons are important modulators of their neuronal excitability. The coexistence of multiple regulatory mechanisms could provide a high degree of redundancy in the maintenance of this crucial component of the reproductive process. It is also conceivable that this multifactorial system could reflect the gradation from simple to more complex neuroendocrine control systems for regulating hypothalamo-pituitary function and gonadal activity during the evolution of the GnRH pulse generator.
