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 distribution of biogenic amines in the rat hypoglossal nucleus (nXII) was investigated with immunocytochemical methods using antibodies to tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) as a marker for catecholamines, and to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), the principal indoleamine, at the light microscopic level. TH and 5-HT immunoreactivity were found throughout all regions of nXII. Although the innervations overlapped, clearly different patterns of distribution were observed. TH immunoreactivity was localized primarily in the ventromedial quadrant of the caudal half of nXII and appeared largely as perisomatic-like profiles. In contrast, 5-HT immunoreactivity was greatest dorsally along the caudal half of nXII, although secondary foci of staining were evident ventrolaterally and, to a lesser extent, ventromedially. A perisomatic-like pattern of termination was observed for 5-HT in both dorsal and ventral regions of nXII. Since ventral and dorsal districts of nXII contain motoneurons that innervate protrusor and retrusor tongue muscles, respectively, we propose that the overlapping, yet differential distributions of catecholamines and indoleamines are important in controlling the relationships between functionally related groups of nXII motoneurons. These findings are discussed in relation to oro-lingual motor dysfunction.
