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

Kisspeptin is a peptide hormone, which signals via the G-protein-coupled kisspeptin receptor (KISS1R). Kisspeptin-KISS1R signalling has been implicated in various physiological and pathophysiological processes in the urogenital system, including critical roles in ovarian function as a key player in the regulation of oocyte development. Kisspeptin also has roles in several different functions of the male reproductive tract, such as spermatogenesis and sperm capacitation, and is also thought to be involved in kidney physiology - studies in preclinical animal models have reported that expression of kisspeptin and/or KISS1R is altered in chronically impaired kidneys. The wider importance of kisspeptin action in the urogenital tract has been highlighted by the finding that it suppresses metastasis of urogenital carcinomas; besides the possible therapeutic potential of this finding, tissue and tumour-stage-specific alterations in kisspeptin and KISS1/KISS1R expression could potentially be used as biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of urogenital carcinomas.
