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

It is well established that calcium is a critical signaling molecule in the transduction of taste stimuli within the peripheral taste system. However, little is known about the regulation and termination of these calcium signals in the taste system. The authors used Western blot, immunocytochemical, and RT-PCR analyses to evaluate the expression of multiple calcium binding proteins in mouse circumvallate taste papillae, including parvalbumin, calbindin D28k, calretinin, neurocalcin, NCS-1 (or frequenin), and CaBP. They found that all of the calcium binding proteins they tested were expressed in mouse circumvallate taste cells with the exception of NCS-1. The authors correlated the expression patterns of these calcium binding proteins with a marker for type II cells and found that neurocalcin was expressed in 80% of type II cells, whereas parvalbumin was found in less than 10% of the type II cells. Calretinin, calbindin, and CaBP were expressed in about half of the type II cells. These data reveal that multiple calcium binding proteins are highly expressed in taste cells and have distinct expression patterns that likely reflect their different roles within taste receptor cells.
