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

Vaginal cytology is the most common method of monitoring the estrous cycle in rats; however, this test requires specific technical training and can be subject to interpretation. Vaginal impedance offers a quicker and less technically challenging alternative and has been used successfully to identify estrus in normally cycling breeder rats. We hypothesize that vaginal impedance can also be used to stage the estrous cycle in rats that have been given luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) for timed mating. Vaginal impedance measurements and vaginal cytology were performed in LHRH-primed female rats (
