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

Membrane initiated estradiol signaling has been shown to be vital for multiple physiological processes. Several receptors have been proposed to mediate the actions of estradiol at the membrane. Here, we examined the ability of STX, an agonist of a novel putative membrane estrogen receptor, to activate sexually receptive behavior in the female rat. Infusions of STX into the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus resulted in the activation and internalization of μ-opioid receptors in the medial preoptic nucleus, an action that is required for lordosis behavior. Indeed, STX was able to augment sexual receptivity in female rats given a sub-behavioral dose of estradiol. However, if the mGluR1a antagonist, LY367,385, was administered prior to STX, its circuit-activating effects, the internalization of μ-opioid receptors, were lost. This suggests that the receptor stimulated by STX activates rapid membrane-initiated signaling through an interaction with mGluR1a - an effect previously described for estrogen receptor-α at the membrane.
