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 melanocortin-5 receptor (MC5R) plays an important role in the regulation of exocrine secretion in mammals. Its function in fish is not well established. In this study, we reported the molecular cloning, tissue expression, and pharmacological characterization of Megalobrama amblycephala MC5R (MamMC5R), as well as the effect of catching stress on its expression. The full-length cDNA of Mammc5r gene was 1237 bp, consisted of a 990-bp open reading frame encoding 329 amino acids. Sequence analyses revealed that the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of Mammc5r were highly homologous (> 90%) with MC5Rs of zebrafish, common carp, and goldfish. Tissue expression profile analysis showed that Mammc5r was widely expressed in both central and peripheral tissues, with the highest expression in the brain. Catching stress significantly changed the expression of Mammc5r in the skin, brain, and eye. In the skin, the expression level of Mammc5r was significantly reduced at 1 h and 4 h and increased at 24 h after catching stress. The Mammc5r expression level was rapidly upregulated in the brain and eye at 1 h and then decreased to the level before stress at 4 h and 24 h. With human MC5R (HsaMC5R) as a control, several agonists including α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), and β-MSH in addition to an analogue [Nle
