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 past years, it has become clear that the family of Mas-related G protein-coupled receptors plays a central role in neuro-immune communication at mucosal barrier surfaces, in particular in the skin. Remarkably, MRGPR expression at other mucosal surfaces remains poorly characterized. To fill this gap in our understanding, the present study was undertaken to screen and verify the expression of the human MRGPR family members in the mucosal biopsies of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Our findings revealed that, of all human MRGPRs family members, only MRGPRF mRNA is expressed at detectable levels in human mucosal biopsies of both terminal ileum and sigmoid colon. Furthermore, immunohistochemical stainings revealed that MRGPRF is specifically expressed by mucosal entero-endocrine cells (EECs). Overall, this study showed for the first time that the human ileum and colonic mucosa represent a novel expression site for the orphan MRGPRF, more specifically in EECs.
