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 supraoptic nucleus (SON) is a hypothalamic region essential for the orchestration of osmoregulation in mammals. We sought to understand how gene expression in the SON is orchestrated in a rodent species adapted for survival in arid desert conditions. After an acclimatisation period, we compared the male and female trancriptomes of the Lesser Egyptian jerboa (Jaculus jaculus) SON under euhydrated, dehydrated, and rehydrated conditions. Gene expression in the jerboa SON was remarkably stable across the conditions with only 46 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) after dehydration and 4 DEGs after rehydration compared to controls; far fewer than previously shown to respond in the jerboa kidney and in the SON of mesic species. When comparing across species (jerboa, camel, and rat), the genes PCSK1 and PTPRN were consistently regulated under conditions of osmotic stress suggesting they have important conserved functions. The dehydration response in jerboa SON is tightly regulated. PCSK1 and PTPRN are identified as conserved components of the response, indicating their importance.
