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

Despite the well-established concept that an increase in pulsatile GnRH release triggers puberty, the precise signaling mechanism responsible for the pubertal increase in GnRH release remains unclear. A recent study indicates that developmental changes in the network formation between kisspeptin and neurokinin B (NKB) signaling greatly contribute to the pubertal increase in GnRH release in female monkeys. It is, however, unknown whether similar developmental changes in the kisspeptin and NKB network are involved in male puberty. In the current study, we first characterized the pubertal stages in male rhesus monkeys by assessing physiological and hormonal changes during sexual development. Subsequently, we examined the role of the kisspeptin and NKB signaling network in the pubertal increase in GnRH release. Results suggest that while collaborative kisspeptin and NKB signaling to GnRH neurons was active before puberty onset, after initiation of puberty the role of NKB signaling in GnRH neurons diminished and kisspeptin signaling assumed the primary stimulatory role in the regulation of GnRH release in male monkeys. These findings in males differ from those seen in females.
