Review in ACS chemical neuroscience, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06138509 (Role of Peripheral Serotonin in Oculocutaneous Albinism), which is not on this map. Cited by 64 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Since its identification, 75 years ago, the monoamine serotonin (5-HT) has attracted considerable attention toward its role as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Yet, increasing evidence, from a growing number of research groups, substantiates the fact that 5-HT regulates important nonneuronal functions. Peripheral 5-HT, synthesized by the enzyme tryptophan hydroxyase (Tph) in intestinal cells, was assumed to be distributed throughout the entire body by blood platelets and to behave as a pleiotropic hormone. A decade ago, generation of a mouse model devoid of peripheral 5-HT lead to the discovery of a second isoform of the enzyme Tph and also suggested that 5-HT might act as a local regulator in various organs. The objective of this review is to highlight the newly discovered functions played by the monoamine using the Tph1 KO murine model and to outline current findings that led to the discovery of complete serotonergic systems in unexpected organs. Within an organ, both the presence of local Tph enzymatic activity and serotonergic components are of particular importance as they support the view that 5-HT meets the criteria to be qualified as a monoamine with a paracrine/autocrine function.
