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 action of environmental chemicals (ECs) on the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) has been suggested to impair physiological processes regulated by this nuclear receptor. However, it remains understudied both as a target of ECs and with respect to potential species-specific differences. In this regard, we have developed reporter cell lines to identify the response to different steroids, ECs, and urban wastewater (WW) sample extracts of human MR (hMR) and zebrafish MR (zfMR). Most of the steroids had a higher efficacy on zfMR than hMR, while the ECs were antagonists to both hMR and zfMR, with a lower potency on the latter. Interestingly, WW sample extracts revealed the presence of MR activity with a greater activity on zfMR compared to hMR, suggesting the presence of steroids in WW. These screening tools have proven to be powerful tools for characterizing the interaction of chemicals with MRs and revealing their presence in environmental samples.
