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

Introduction: The vertebrate nonapeptide vasotocin (Avp) is evolutionarily conserved and homologous to mammalian vasopressin. Previous work using Methods: Here, we used acute pharmacological manipulation via the Avpr1 receptor antagonist Manning compound alone (dose-response experiment) or in conjunction with PGF Results: In the dose-response experiment, acute female intraperitoneal injection of MC at the lowest dose tested (5 ng/g bodyweight) reduced breeding pair success, quivering behaviour, and the number of released viable eggs compared to saline-injected controls. Whole-body cortisol and reproductive hormone concentrations, clutch size, hatchability and larval survival were unaffected at this concentration. Additional effects on courtship behaviours and increases in estradiol and progesterone concentrations were observed exclusively in females injected with higher doses of MC, suggesting no contribution to the reproductive phenotype observed at the lowest MC dose. The rescue experiment revealed that the phenotype elicited by 5 ng/g bw MC was rescued by co-injection with 5 mg/g bw PGF Discussion: Together, these data suggest that Avp acutely promotes female zebrafish spawning through action on Avpr1 receptors and likely involve downstream activation of PGF
