Gene expression profiling in the hippocampus of orchidectomized rats.
Article in Journal of molecular neuroscience : MN, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Evidence from the literature suggests that testosterone (T) plays an important role in the neural structure, physiology, and function of the hippocampus (HP). However, many of the genes involved and underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. To shed light on this issue, we explored the transcriptome of HP in orchidectomized (OOX) rats to identify T-dependent gene expression in rat HP. RNA from OOX and sham HP animals were processed and measured by the Applied Biosystems microarray platform. The results showed a total of 271 genes differentially expressed between OOX vs. sham animals. Overall, T depletion resulted in the upregulation of 98 genes, including genes associated with neurogenesis and behavior. Of particular interest was the downregulation of 173 genes, with known functions, including signal transduction or neurological system processes. Our data shows that T depletion results in significantly altered hippocampal gene expression profiles and constitutes a starting tool to elucidating the molecular mechanisms involved in the action of androgens in the physiology of the HP.
