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 distribution pattern of chemokine CXCL14-immunoreactive cells was examined by immunohistochemistry in the pituitary of the gecko Hemidactylus platyurus. Immunoreactive cells were observed in the pars intermedia and pars distalis of the pituitary, but not in the pars nervosa. All α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (αMSH)-producing cells were immunoreactive for CXCL14 in the pars intermedia. The CXCL14-immunoreactive cells corresponded to prolactin (PRL)-producing cells but not to other adenohypophyseal-hormone-producing cells in the pars distalis. CXCL14 secreted from αMSH-producing cells and PRL-producing cells may regulate insulin release from β cells in the pancreatic islets as well as glucose uptake in the muscle cells together with αMSH and/or PRL. In addition, secreted CXCL14 with αMSH and/or PRL may act as a bioactive factor regulating hormone release in the adenohypophyseal cells of the reptilian pars distalis.
