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

1. Role of the vascular endothelium in acetylcholine (ACh) induced modulation of neurogenic and applied ATP (adenosine 5'-triphosphate) constrictions of intestinal submucosal arterioles was investigated. 2. Arteriole constrictions, induced either by exogenous ATP or evoked by perivascular nerve stimulation, were attenuated in the presence of ACh. 100 nM ACh almost completely abolished neurogenic constrictions whereas up to 10 microM ACh reduced constrictions to exogenous ATP by only about 60%. 3. Treatment of the arterioles with 100 microM Nomega-nitro-L-arginine (NOLA) and 5 microM indomethacin, to block respectively nitric oxide (NO) and prostanoid release from the endothelium, had no effect on the ACh induced inhibition of neurogenic constrictions but significantly attenuated the inhibitory effects of ACh on constrictions to exogenous ATP. 4. Disruption of the vascular endothelium had no effect on the ACh induced inhibition of neurogenic constrictions but attenuated the inhibitory effects of ACh on applied ATP constrictions to the same extent as after treatment with NOLA and indomethacin. In comparison, endothelial disruption completely abolished the inhibitory effect of substance P (SP) on exogenously applied ATP constrictions. 5. 50 nM ACh significantly attenuated the amplitude of neurally evoked excitatory junction potentials (ejps) recorded from the vascular smooth muscle without altering the time constant of decay (taudecay) of the ejps. 6. It is concluded that ACh inhibits neurogenic constrictions by prejunctional modulation of transmitter release from the perivascular sympathetic nerves with no major role for endothelial paracrine factors. 7. Endothelial NO and/or prostanoids mediate some of the ACh induced inhibition of constrictions to exogenous ATP whereas the endothelium independent inhibitory effects of ACh are attributed to a direct action of ACh on the vascular smooth muscle. However, an indirect effect resulting from activation of vasodilator nerves cannot be ruled out.
