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 expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 channel (TRPV1) in the enteric nervous system is still the subject of debate. Although a number of studies have reported that TRPV1 is limited to extrinsic afferent fibers, other studies argue for an intrinsic expression of TRPV1. In the present study, reverse transcriptase PCR was employed to establish the expression of TRPV1 mRNA throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Using two antibodies directed against different epitopes of TRPV1, we were able to show at the protein level that the observed distribution pattern of TRPV1 is dependent on the antibody used in the immunohistochemical staining. A first antibody indeed mainly stained neuronal fibers, whereas a second antibody exclusively stained perikarya of enteric neurons throughout the mouse gastrointestinal tract. We argue that these different distribution patterns are due to the antibodies discriminating between different modulated forms of TRPV1 that influence the recognition of the targeted immunogen and as such distinguish intracellular from plasmalemmal forms of TRPV1. Our study is the first to directly compare these two antibodies within the same species and in identical conditions. Our observations underline that detailed knowledge of the epitope that is recognized by the antibodies employed in immunohistochemical procedures is a prerequisite for correctly interpreting experimental results.
