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 release of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland is primarily inhibited by somatostatin (SRIF) from the hypothalamus via interactions with five types of SRIF receptors (SSTRs). However, the inhibition mechanism of SRIF on GH has not been fully examined. In this study, we repressed the hypothalamic SRIF in young male mice by stereotaxic injection of the lentiviral-shRNA against SRIF to investigate the role of hypothalamic SRIF on hormone secretion in the GH/IGF-1 axis. We found that the reduction of SRIF in hypothalamus was associated with an increase in the protein, but not the mRNA level, of the GH in the pituitary where SSTR 2 and SSTR 5 act importantly. Interestingly, the level of blood circulatory SRIF, GH, IGF-1 and the body weight were not significantly influenced by the downregulation of hypothalamic SRIF. Our findings provide insights into the mechanisms underlying the inhibition of SRIF on GH secretion.
