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

Background: The neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) plays a vital role in the modulation of reproductive function by controlling gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion. Most kisspeptin neurons, which are key regulators of GnRH neurons, coexpress GABA and other neuropeptides. However, whether the expression of the vesicular GABA transporter (Vgat) in kisspeptin cells contributes to the reproductive phenotype of mice remains unclear. Methods: Brain slices from female vesicular GABA transporter-Cre/GFP (Vgat-Cre/GFP) mice were used to assess GABAergic coexpression in kisspeptin neurons during diestrus and proestrus. Mice carrying conditional ablation of Results: 50-60% of kisspeptin neurons in the anteroventral periventricular and rostral periventricular nuclei are GABAergic. However, the percentage of GABAergic kisspeptin neurons did not differ between proestrus and diestrus stages. Deletion of Discussion: These findings indicate that
