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

Gonadotropins (GtHs) play a pivotal role in regulating the reproductive axis and puberty. In this study, full-length sequences coding for common glycoprotein α subunit (CGα) and luteinizing hormone β (LHβ) were isolated from female turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) pituitary by homology cloning and a strategy based on rapid amplification of cDNA end-polymerase chain reaction. Results showed that the two cDNAs consisted of 669 and 660 nucleotides encoding 129 and 139 amino acids, respectively. CGα and LHβ manifested typical characteristics of glycoprotein hormones, high homologies with the corresponding sequences of available teleosts, and high homology with that of Hippoglossus hippoglossus. CGα, FSHβ, and LHβ mRNAs were abundant in the pituitary, but less expressed in extra-pituitary tissues. The cgα, fshβ, and lhβ were detected at 1-day post-hatching (dph) and peaked simultaneously at early-metamorphosis (22 dph). cgα and fshβ mRNA levels were significantly increased at pre-metamorphosis, peaked in early metamorphosis, and then gradually decreased until metamorphosis was completed. Conversely, lhβ mRNA levels gradually decreased at pre-metamorphosis, dramatically peaked at early metamorphosis, and then decreased during metamorphosis. In addition, the mRNA levels of cgα were significantly higher than those of fshβ and lhβ during turbot larval metamorphic development, whereas no significant difference was found between fshβ and lhβ. These results suggested (i) an early activation of the GtHs system after hatching, which was the highest expression at early metamorphosis, and (ii) FSHβ and LHβ were together involved in the establishment of the reproductive axis during larval development in turbot. These findings contribute to further understanding the potential roles of GtHs during fish larval development.
