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 aim of the study was to investigate nerve fibers (NF) in human fetal livers. An immunohistochemical study was performed. NF were classified into portal tract innervation (PoI) and parenchymal innervation (PaI). The hilum area showed many Pol NF at 7 GW, and NF increased with gestational week (GW). Direct innervations to biliary epithelium were recognized. In large portal tracts, a few NCAM-positive mesenchymal cells were seen at 8 GW and many mesenchymal cells were noted around 12 GW. Apparent NF emerged around 15 GW, and NF increased with GW. Many NF plexuses were seen in 30-40 GW. In small portal tracts, no NF were seen in 7-10 GW. A few NCAM-positive mesenchymal cells emerged in 11 GW, and they increased thereafter. Apparent NF were seen around 20 GW and NF increased with GW. At term (40 GW), PoI NF were still immature. Ductal plate (DP) was positive for NCAM, NSE, chromogranin and synaptophysin, and direct innervations to DP were seen. The direct innervations to developing bile ducts and peribiliary glands were also seen. PaI NF were first seen at 21 GW and was consistent until 40 GW in which a few NF were seen in PaI. These observations suggest that PoI NF arise from committed portal mesenchyme. PaI NF are very immature at 40 GW. There are direct innervations to bile ducts, peribiliary glands, portal veins, hepatic arteries, and DP.
