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

During the early period (1-4 days) after stress, female CBA and C57BL6 (B6) mice were found to excrete volatile components (chemosignals) in the urine, which are more attractive to intact males of these same strains, regardless of genotype, than the secretions of intact females. At later time point; there were wavelake changes in the attractiveness of the secretions of stressed females, though the difference between the intact and stressed groups of females disappeared by one month. Comparison of the secretions of stressed CBA and B6 females showed that intact males preferred the post-stress chemosignals of syngeneic (genetically identical) individuals during the period 1-14 days. This phenomenon - post-stress reversion of the female genotype-dependent olfactory attractiveness to males - was significantly different from normal, where males show a consistent preference for the chemosignals of allogeneic (with different genotypes) females. The pattern of male preference for the chemosignals of stressed syngeneic females was also seen on direct comparison with the chemosignals of intact allogeneic females. Normal female chemosignaling recovered during the 2-3 weeks after stress. The biological significance of these phenomena is discussed.
