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 localization of the neural cell adhesion molecule L1 in the male urogenital tract (including seminal vesicles and prostate) of the mouse and bull was investigated using immunocytochemical and immunochemical methods in order to better understand the function of this glycoprotein in non-neural tissues. L1 antibodies labeled non-myelinated nerves in all portions of the urogenital tract investigated. However, L1 immunoreactivity was also found between epithelial cells of several regions of the urogenital system including epididymal tail, deferent duct, ejaculatory duct and seminal vesicles. Some L1 immunoreactivity was also demonstrated between epithelial cells of murine urinary bladder and urethra. The specificity of the immunoreaction was verified by western blots. There was no correlation between L1 expression and proliferating activity as revealed by double immunocytochemistry using various markers of cell proliferation. This unexpected expression of L1 in nonneural tissues is mainly restricted to non-proliferating epithelia of those portions of the urogenital tract that are derived from the Wolffian duct. It is suggested that L1 in these epithelia could enhance the mechanical resistance and reduce transepithelial permeability.
