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

Reserpine is used as a cheap and effective first-line antihypertensive, and presently, it is applied as treatment for difficult-to-control cases of hypertension. Despite its significance, reserpine's neuroendocrine toxicity remains largely underexplored. Here, we investigated the effects of reserpine on development, locomotion, central nervous system (CNS) neurons, thyroid development, and the expression of genes related to neurodevelopment, endocrine, learning and memory, and depression in zebrafish exposed to different doses of reserpine ranging from 0.5 mg/L to 16 mg/L. The results of our study demonstrated that reserpine exerts dose-dependent toxicity on the neuroendocrine system (NES). An investigation into its underlying mechanism suggests that reserpine disrupted the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis via down-regulating
