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

In the hippocampus, estrogen regulates gene transcription linked to neuronal growth, neuroprotection, and the maintenance of memory function (1-3). The mechanism is likely to involve genomic regulation through classic estrogen receptor (ER) signaling cascades that influence transcription. Estrogens binding to classic nuclear ERs, alpha (ERα) and beta (ERβ), and have pleotropic effects on development, behavior, and neurophysiological functions, including synaptic plasticity and memory consolidation (4-7). In addition to ERα and ERβ, estrogen can also initiate activation of classical second messenger signaling cascades to influence the activity of G-proteins and a host of kinases, resulting in rapid changes in physiology (8-14). These rapid effects of estrogen are commonly mediated by membrane receptors. In the late 90s, multiple laboratories cloned cDNA/gene for an orphan G-protein-coupled receptor with very low homology with other G-protein-coupled receptors and named it G-protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30) (15-20). Later in 2007, the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology designated GPR30 as G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) (21); GPER is a seven-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptor, predominantly expressed on the cell membrane (22). Interestingly, GPER is reported to mediate many of the rapid responses of estradiol in the adult brain, and is widely distributed in the mammalian brain including the plasma membrane of hippocampal neurons (23-31). GPER modulates second messenger signaling cascades involving Gα
