Characterization of changes in mechanical responses to histamine in omental resistance arteries in pre-eclampsia.
Article in British journal of pharmacology, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Changes in the effect of histamine on the smooth muscle of resistance arteries in pre-eclampsia were investigated by measuring isometric contractions in endothelium-denuded strips of omental resistance arteries from pre-eclamptic and normotensive pregnant women (pregnancy-term matched). Histamine (0.03 -1 microM) caused concentration-dependent relaxation of the contraction induced by 9, 11-epithio-11,12-methano-thromboxane A(2) (STA(2)) in strips from both groups. Sensitivity (for pre-eclampsia: pD(2)=6.66+/-0.04, n=5 and for normotensive pregnant women: pD(2)=7.07+/-0.03, n=10, P<0.001) was lower and the maximum response (90.6+/-0.6% vs 95.5+/-1.1%, P<0.05) was smaller in strips from pre-eclamptic women. Although 8-bromoadenosine-3', 5'-cyclic monophosphorothioate (Sp-isomer: Sp-8-Br-cAMPS, 0.1 - 0.3 mM), a phosphodiesterase (PDE)-resistant activator of adenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP)-dependent protein kinase, concentration-dependently attenuated the contraction induced by STA(2) in strips from both groups, the sensitivity (for pre-eclampsia: pD(2)=3.68+/-0.04, n=5 and for normotensive pregnant women: 3.94+/-0.09, n=7, P:=0.02) was lower and the maximum response (64.2+/-2.4% vs 74.9+/-4.4%, P:<0.05) was smaller in pre-eclampsia. In beta-escin-skinned strips, the pD(2) value for the contraction-inducing effect of Ca(2+) did not differ significantly between the two groups (for pre-eclampsia, n=6; for normotensive pregnant women, n=6). Thus, omental resistance arteries from human subjects with pre-eclampsia showed (i) a weaker H(2)-receptor-mediated relaxation to histamine and (ii) a weaker cyclic AMP-analogue-induced relaxation, suggesting that the reduced action of histamine may be partly due to a decreased effect of cyclic AMP.
