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. To analyse the mechanisms of muscle layer-dependent inhibition of porcine myometrial contractility by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), the effects of 5-HT, 5-carboxamidotryptamine(5-CT), 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MeOT), forskolin and cyclic adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) analogues on spontaneous and stimulant-induced contractions were examined in longitudinal (LM) and circular muscles (CM). In addition, accumulation of cyclic AMP by 5-HT and distribution of 5-HT(7) receptors in LM and CM layers were compared using biochemical and molecular approaches. 2. 5-HT receptor agonists inhibited the spontaneous contractions of LM and CM (5-CT>5-HT>5-MeOT), but CM was more sensitive than was LM. The inhibition by the agonists was antagonized by methiothepin (100 nM). 3. Carbachol-, high-K(+)-, histamine- and Ca(2+)-induced contractions were inhibited by 5-HT with different responses (CM>LM). Even in the presence of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), the inhibition by 5-HT in the CM was still more conspicuous than that in the LM. 4. Compared with the CM, the inhibition of spontaneous contraction by forskolin, dibutyryl-cyclic AMP and 8-bromo-cyclic AMP was marked in the LM. 5. 5-HT (1 nM - 1 microM) increased the cyclic AMP in both muscle layers, but the increment in the CM was higher than that in the LM whether IBMX was present or not. 6. LM and CM layers contained a single class of [(3)H]-5-CT binding sites with a similar K(d) value (0.21 - 0.24 nM). However, B(max) (5-HT(7) receptor concentration) in the CM (120.6 fmol mg(-1) protein) was higher than that in the LM (30.4 fmol mg(-1) protein). 7. The molecular study (reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) demonstrated the expression of 5-HT(7) receptor mRNA in the CM was higher than that in the LM. 8. These results suggest that the muscle layer-dependent difference in inhibition by 5-HT is not restricted to spontaneous contraction but applies to various contractions in the porcine myometrium. Different inhibition of the contractility by 5-HT is caused by muscle layer-related accumulation of cyclic AMP (CM>LM), due to smooth muscle-layer dependent distribution (CM>LM) of 5-HT(7) receptors.
