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 densities and diameters of intramembranous particles in olfactory and nasal respiratory structures of frog, ox, rat and dog have been compared using the freeze-fracture technique. Dendritic endings and the various segments of the cilia of the olfactory receptor cells of a given species have identical particle densities (700--1,800 particles/micrometers2 in P- and 100--600 in E-faces). Densities in P-faces of respiratory cilia are about 1/3 of those in the olfactory cilia. E-face particle densities of these respiratory cilia are often higher than P-face densities. Microvillus P-face densities range from 700--2,000 (respiratory cell microvilli) to 1,800--3,400 particles/micrometers2 (olfactory supporting and Bowman's gland microvilli). Microvillus E-faces show no conspicuous mutual differences. Literature comparisons showed that odour concentrations at threshold are considerably lower (10(5)--10(10) times) than the concentrations of olfactory receptor ending intramembranous particles (5 microM--30 microM) expressed in the same units. Relative differences in particle distributions of the various cell structures studied are usually species-independent. Absolute values vary considerably with the species. Relative P-face particle densities of the supporting cell microvilli tend to correlate with those of dendritic ending structures. Particle diameters are usually similar to corresponding structures and fracture faces in the four species. Apical structures of supporting and Bowman's gland cells in rat and dog show rod-shaped particle aggregates in the P- and pits in their E-faces. Neither sex-dependency nor an influence related to physiological treatments on the particle distributions could be demonstrated.
