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

The mammalian olfactory system enables the detection of a wide variety of chemical compounds via the expression of a repertoire of olfactory receptors comprising the largest gene family in the mammalian genome. Olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) each express only 1 odorant receptor (OR) gene. In mice, this requires activation of 1 OR gene and repression of over 1,400 other OR genes. In this review, we describe the mechanisms that support the transcription of OR genes and how these mechanisms impact which OR is expressed in each neuron. First, we discuss what is currently known about the role of transcription in OR choice. We then describe the role of specific features of OR genes and enhancers in the regulation of OR transcription. Finally, we discuss characteristics of OSNs which specify transcription of some OR genes while restricting the transcription of others.
