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

Animals must regulate their sensory responsiveness appropriately with respect to their internal and external environments, which is accomplished in part via centrifugal modulatory pathways. In the olfactory sensory system, responsiveness is regulated by neuromodulators released from centrifugal fibers into the olfactory epithelium and bulb. Among the modulators known to modulate neural activity of the olfactory system, one of the best understood is gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). This is because GnRH derives mainly from the terminal nerve (TN), and the TN-GnRH system has been suggested to function as a neuromodulator in wide areas of the brain, including the olfactory bulb. In the present article we examine the modulatory roles of the TN and GnRH in the olfactory epithelium and bulb as a model for understanding the ways in which olfactory responses can be tuned to the internal and external environments.
