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 normal function of the mammalian reproductive axis is strongly influenced by physiological, metabolic and environmental factors. Kisspeptin neuropeptides, encoded by the Kiss1 gene, are potent regulators of the mammalian reproductive axis by stimulating gonadodropin releasing hormone secretion from the hypothalamus. To understand how the reproductive axis is modulated by higher order neuronal inputs we have mapped the afferent circuits into arcuate (ARC) Kiss1 neurons. We used a transgenic mouse that expresses the CRE recombinase in Kiss1 neurons for conditional viral tracing with genetically modified viruses. CRE-mediated activation of these viruses in Kiss1 neurons allows the virus to move transynaptically to label neurons with primary or secondary afferent inputs into the Kiss1 neurons. Several regions of the brain showed synaptic connectivity to arcuate Kiss1 neurons including proopiomelanocortin neurons in the ARC itself, kisspeptin neurons in the anteroventral periventricular nucleus, vasopressin neurons in the supraoptic and suprachiasmatic nuclei, thyrotropin releasing neurons in the paraventricular nucleus and unidentified neurons in other regions including the subfornical organ, amygdala, interpeduncular nucleus, ventral premammilary nucleus, basal nucleus of stria terminalis and the visual, somatosensory and piriform regions of the cortex. These data provide an insight into how the activity of Kiss1 neurons may be regulated by metabolic signals and provide a detailed neuroanatomical map for future functional studies.
