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 primary sensory neurons use glutamate as a major neurotransmitter. Several neuropeptides are also found in these neurons. In our laboratory we demonstrated secretin-like immunoreactivity in primary sensory neurons of several species including human, rat and cat. In the present experiment utilizing in situ hybridization, we have demonstrated for the first time that secretin is not only immunostained but is also expressed in the primary sensory neurons of the trigeminal ganglion of male rats. In intact rats, secretin mRNA was not observed; we had to use intracerebroventricular colchicine administration to induce the expression of secretin. Secretin was expressed in about 5% of the cells in all the three subdivisions of the trigeminal ganglion. The secretin-synthetizing cells were large and medium sized, and their mean diameter was about 50 μm. When we compared the percentage and the size of secretin to that of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance-P (SP) and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) cells, it was found that CGRP, SP and VIP are present in about 15-20% of the cells and their mean diameter is about 20-25 μm. The morphometric data indicate that secretin is present in a subdivision of neurons that is different from the subdivision of the CGRP, SP and VIP cells. It is suggested that secretin may modulate the function of the primary neurotransmitter.
