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

Mammalian pineal glands are composed mostly of pinealocytes, which are the melatonin secretory cells, and also importantly of glial cells in special astrocytes. With the aim of studying the interactions between pinealocytes and astrocytes, the methodologies for obtaining and maintaining isolated pinealocytes and astrocytes in culture were standardized, in addition to the co-culture of both cell types. Some works of our group were published on the interactions between isolated astrocytes and pinealocytes from the pineal gland of Wistar rats, considering the modulatory role of glutamate and angiotensin on the synthesis of melatonin. In this chapter, the methodologies for obtaining and maintaining astrocytes and pinealocytes culture as well as co-culture of these two cell types will be presented.
