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

Objectives: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is the most common metabolic complication of pregnancy that causes central nervous system and olfactory dysfunction in the offspring. It has been demonstrated that dopamine modulates several aspects of olfactory information processing in vertebrates. Materials and Methods: In this study, we investigated the effect of gestational diabetes on the expression of the Dopamine (DA) metabolism genes, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), and dopa decarboxylase (DDC) in the olfactory bulb (OB) tissue of rats' offspring. Female Wistar rats were divided into a control group which received citrate buffer and the diabetic group which received 45 mg/kg of streptozotocin (STZ) on day 0 of gestation. Fasting blood glucose levels were measured before and 72 hr after injection. OB tissues of adult offspring were isolated, and TH-positive cells were counted by immunofluorescence staining. Also, TH and DDC expressions were analyzed by qRT- PCR and western blot. Results: The data showed that gestational diabetes could cause up-regulation of TH ( Conclusion: This study showed that gestational diabetes could cause an increase in TH and DDC gene expression in the OB tissue in the offspring, which may be correlated with reduced olfactory sensitivity.
