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

Bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP7), a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily, has various effects in many biological events. However, there is little information on BMP7 expression in the adult central nervous system (CNS). Therefore, we investigated BMP7 levels in the adult rat CNS using immunohistochemistry. Abundant BMP7 expression was seen in astrocytes throughout the CNS and strong BMP7 expression was also observed in neuropils of the gray matter. Furthermore, BMP7 expression was observed in several kinds of neurons, including oxytocin, dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons. These data suggest that BMP7 is widely expressed throughout the adult CNS, and support the idea that BMP7 plays pivotal roles in the adult brain, as well as in the developing brain.
