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

G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 37 and GPR37L1 are known to modulate the dopaminergic neuron activity, and recently, they are identified as candidate prosaposin receptors. Intercellular prosaposin is proteolytically processed into four saposins, each of which acts as a sphingolipid hydrolase activator in the lysosome. In contrast, extracellular prosaposin exerts a trophic effect on neurons via GPR37 and GPR37L1. In this study, the expression patterns of GPR37 and GPR37L1 in the mouse digestive system were examined immunohistochemically. The islets of Langerhans of the pancreas showed intense immunoreactivity for GPR37 and GPR37L1. Weak immunoreactivity for GPR37 and GPR37L1 was found in the nerve plexuses of the esophagus and small and large intestines. Colocalization of GPR37 and tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity was observed in the neuron of the nerve plexus of the large intestine. This study suggests the possibility that prosaposin affects the function of islet-secreting cells. Also, the expression of GPR37 and GPR37L1 in the nerve plexus suggests that prosaposin exerts a trophic effect not only in the central nervous system, but also in the enteric nervous system.
