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 mammalian pineal organ transduces light-dependent neural inputs into a hormonal output. This photoneuroendocrine transduction results in a largely elevated concentration of the pineal hormone melatonin at night. The rhythm in melatonin production and secretion depends on activation and inactivation of transcriptional, translational, and posttranslational mechanisms fundamentally linked to two second messenger systems, the cAMP- and the Ca(2+)-signal transduction pathways. Here we review molecular biological, immunocytochemical, and single-cell imaging studies, which demonstrate a time- and substance-specific activation of these signaling pathways in rat pinealocytes. The data provide a framework for understanding the complex interactions between second messengers (cAMP, Ca2+), transcription factors (CREB, ICER), and their role in regulation of melatonin synthesis. The data have proven the rat pinealocyte to be an interesting model to study transmembrane signaling pathways which may be common to both neuroendocrine and neuronal cells.
