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 release of ATPase activity evoked by electrical field stimulation (EFS) (8 Hz, 25 s) was investigated in several tissues in which adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) acts as a neurotransmitter. Superfusate collected during EFS of sympathetic nerves of the guinea-pig, rat and mouse isolated vas deferens and parasympathetic nerves of the guinea-pig isolated urinary bladder contained ATPase activity. ATP breakdown was fastest in superfusate collected from the guinea-pig isolated vas deferens. However, EFS of the enteric nerves of the guinea-pig isolated taenia coli did not release any detectable ATPase. The ATPase released from the guinea-pig isolated vas deferens metabolized ATP at similar rates at incubation temperatures of 37 degrees C and 20 degrees C. Lineweaver-Burke analysis of the initial rates of ATP hydrolysis gave a K(M) of 39 microM and a V(max) of 1039 pmol ATP metabolized min(-1) ml(-1) superfusate. 6-N,N-diethyl-D-beta,gamma-dibromomethyleneATP (ARL 67156), pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulphonic acid (PPADS) and pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (P-5-P) all inhibited the ATPase activity in a concentration-dependent manner with a potency order of ARL 67156 = PPADS>P-5-P. In conclusion, EFS of several tissues in which ATP is a neurotransmitter causes the release of an ATPase and activity is greatest in the guinea-pig vas deferens. The enzyme has pharmacological and kinetic characteristics that are similar to ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases.
