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 pulmonary mucosa of three species of ancient fish was studied immunohistochemically to show the distribution of serotonin, regarded as the main monoamine of mammalian bronchopulmonary paraneurons. Serotonin-like immunoreactive cells, dispersed through the airway epithelium as single cells, were found in all the fish species studied. They are presumably equivalent to the neuroendocrine cells reported in the lungs of mammalian and submammalian vertebrates. However, the precise role and the function of these cells remain unknown. Since the species studied belong to the most primitive extant groups of ancient fish, the present investigation suggests that serotonin is widely distributed in the lungs of the vertebrates. Several peptides, known to be specific cytochemical markers for the identification of the pulmonary neuroendocrine cells of mammals, are being investigated in the lungs of the fish species studied. They may help to trace the phylogeny of the pulmonary neuroendocrine cell system and to elucidate its function in lower vertebrates.
