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

Activity of acid phosphatase (ACP) was investigated cytochemically in the pineal organ of the rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri. Intense reaction product for ACP activity was observed in lysosomes varying in size and shape and in endoplasmic reticulum associated with the Golgi complex of the pineal photoreceptor and supporting cells, vascular endothelial cells, and macrophages inhabiting pineal lumen, parenchymal epithelium and perivascular spaces. This localization of ACP is discussed with particular reference to the capacity for lysosomal digestion in a pineal organ combining photoreceptive and secretory functions, and lacking a blood-brain barrier, as holds true for the pineal of the rainbow trout. Taking advantage of its capacity for endocytotic uptake and lysosomal digestion, the pineal organ of the rainbow trout may serve as a barrier between the blood circulation and the cerebrospinal-fluid compartment. Furthermore, the macrophages may be considered as an essential component in pineal function of fish.
