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

Cyclic 3',5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity was demonstrated cytochemically in the rat olfactory mucosa using cyclic AMP as substrate. Strong activity was observed on the plasma membrane of the cilia, dendritic knob and axon of olfactory cells; weak activity was apparent on the membrane of the dendritic shaft and cell body. This suggests that the cyclic AMP produced by odorant-sensitive adenylate cyclase in the dendritic terminal acts mainly in its original site and to a lesser extent in the dendritic shaft and cell body. The enzyme also hydrolysed cyclic GMP but the hydrolysis was not as great as in the case of cyclic AMP. Besides its presence in olfactory cells, enzymatic activity was also observed on the plasma membrane of basal cells and certain supporting cells with an astrocyte-like morphology.
