Comparison of actin-filament bundles in myoid cells and Sertoli cells of the rat, golden hamster and mouse.

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.
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
Testes of adult rats, golden hamsters and mice were fixed with paraformaldehyde. Seminiferous tubules were then isolated by collagenase dissociation, stained with fluorescent phallotoxin, and viewed in a confocal laser microscope to observe actin filaments. Bundles of actin filaments in the myoid cells, especially in the rat, were arranged at right angles to each other in relation to the longitudinal axis of the tubule. In the hamster, circumferentially directed bundles were more frequent than longitudinally directed bundles. The actin bundles in the mouse were thinner than those in the rat and hamster, and their lattice network was less prominent. Nuclei of the myoid cells were elliptical and their short diameters were parallel to the long axis of the seminiferous tubules in the animals examined. Areas of myoid cells and of basal junctional portions of Sertoli cells were measured and compared in all animals studied. There were significant differences in the areas among the three species. The golden hamster showed the largest value for myoid-cell area, and the mean value for Sertoli-cell area was highest in the mouse.
