Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Receptor Expression in Human Spinal Cord.
Article in Neurochemical research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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 expression of the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone receptor expression on pituitary gonadotrophs in humans is well characterized. In nervous system they have also been found in hippocampi and cerebral cortex. However, gonadotrophin-releasing hormone receptor expression in human spinal cord has not been reported. This study was to analyze the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone receptor expression in human spinal cord by immunohistochemistry, mRNAs by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, cDNA cloning and Western blot. The results show immunoreactive material to gonadotrophin-releasing hormone receptor in motoneurons of the spinal cord. Further, the study revealed that spinal cord expressed the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone receptor mRNA. The amplicon sequence corresponds to 100% of identity to GenBank. In Western blot, a band of 37 kDa were found in extracts of spinal cord and placenta as a control. In conclusion, human spinal cord expresses gonadotrophin-releasing hormone receptor analyzed through immunohistochemistry, the expression of its mRNA, cloning its cDNA and Western blot analysis. The presence of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone receptor in the spinal cord suggests the possibility of an extrapituitary functional role independent of reproductive system.
