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 olfactory organ of juvenile clearnose skates (Raja eglanteria) was studied with the light and electron microscopes. The organ is ovoid in shape, and its free surface is complicated by the presence of some 20 lamellae. Each lamella has a folded surface lined by a typical neurosensory olfactory epithelium. Bipolar olfactory receptor neurons, ciliated sustentacular cells, and basal cells are the pre-eminent cellular components of the epithelium. Two types of receptor neurons, both bearing microvilli but not cilia, were identified. The type 1 neuron is similar to that previously described in other fishes. The type 2 neuron has a characteristic morphology justifying a separate description. Its dendritic knob is larger than that of type 1, and its microvilli, which are shorter and thicker, are straight and regularly arranged. Tight bundles of filaments provide a skeleton to each microvillus, and these filament bundles reach more than 5 microns down into the dendrite. Type 2 receptor neurons have a well-developed Golgi complex and sparse rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER), whereas type 1 receptor neurons have a less well-developed Golgi complex and a conspicuous system of rER lamellae. The mucous layer on the epithelial surface is provided by the secretion of goblet cells that are situated mostly in the peripheral regions of each lamella. Secretory granules in the sustentacular cells and glands in the lamina propria were not observed.
