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

Mammary gland epithelial dysfunction is one of the serious consequences of subchronic dietary vitamin A deficiency (VAD). However, the underlying mechanism of this process is incompletely known. Consequently, we utilized a virgin rat model of dietary VAD (3 and 6 months) and subsequently intervened with a vitamin A sufficient (VAS) diet (0.5 or 1 month) prior to treatment completion. This experimental model allowed us to investigate the underlying molecular mechanism of mammary gland tissue dysfunction caused by VAD. Dietary VAD for 3 and 6 months caused increased inflammatory cell infiltration in the mammary gland parenchyma and glandular cells, with increased inflammation and apoptosis and reduced cell proliferation. These changes can be reversed with a VAS diet. Imbalances between the NF-κB and retinoic acid (RA) signaling pathways underlie mammary gland dysfunction following subchronic VAD. Nulliparous rats fed a VAD diet experience mammary gland epithelial dysfunction because of inflammation, apoptosis, and impaired cell growth.
