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

Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brainstem and spinal cord. Glycine transporter 2 (GLYT2) is responsible for the uptake of extracellular glycine. GLYT2 is specifically expressed in glycinergic neurons and thus has been used as a marker of glycinergic neurons. Here, we generated GLYT2 promotor-driven Cre recombinase (Cre)-expressing mice (GLYT2-Cre knock-in mice) to develop a tool for manipulating gene expression in glycinergic neurons. Cre activity was examined by crossing the GLYT2-Cre knock-in mice with a Cre reporter mouse line, R26R, which express β-galactosidase (β-gal) in a Cre-dependent manner. X-gal staining of GLYT2-Cre/R26R double transgenic mouse brains and spinal cords revealed that the Cre activity was primarily distributed in the brainstem, cerebellum, and spinal cord. These areas are rich in glycinergic neurons. Furthermore, we performed immunohistochemistry for β-gal combined with
