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

Introduction: The molecular mechanisms regulating teleost semicystic spermatogenesis remain largely unknown. In the flatfish Senegalese sole ( Methods: Here, we used an RNA-seq transcriptomic analysis of the testis from sole males treated with recombinant follicle stimulating hormone and Lh (rFsh and rLh, respectively). Results: This analysis reveals that both gonadotropins differentially downregulate a number of transcripts potentially encoding cell-cell junction and adhesion proteins, as well as components of the Oxytocin (Oxt) and Relaxin (Rln) signaling pathways. Discussion: These data suggest that the Oxt- and Rln-mediated gonadotropic disruption of the BTB and Sertoli cells-spermatid junctions in the sole testis facilitates spermatid release and Lh paracellular transport into the seminiferous lumen during spermiogenesis.
