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 adult rat cerebellum has minimal enkephalin immunoreactivity and is devoid of opiate-binding activity. Using novel monoclonal antibodies to the mammalian enkephalin precursor, we describe the immunofluorescent detection of proenkephalin, in the absence of mature enkephalin peptides, in subpopulations of rat cerebellar neurons and astrocytes. In cryostat sections, neurons that express proenkephalin include Golgi cells, macroneurons within deep cerebellar nuclei and a subpopulation of Purkinje cells. Proenkephalin messenger RNA and protein are present in subpopulations of both grey and white matter astrocytes, but not Bergmann glia. In dissociated glial culture, proenkephalin is expressed in process-bearing astrocytes, apparently in association with a subset of intermediate filaments. Proenkephalin within astrocytes is not seen until the second postnatal week and increases through to adulthood. Neuropeptide gene expression adds to the growing range of neuronal-type properties glial cells can display.
