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

5-HT(4) receptors mediate circular muscle relaxation in both human and canine large intestine, but this phenomenon alone can not explain the improvement in colonic motility induced by selective 5-HT(4) receptor agonists in vivo. We set out to characterize 5-HT(4) receptor-mediated effects in longitudinal muscle strips of canine and human large intestine. Electrical field stimulation (EFS) was applied providing submaximal isotonic contractions. L-NOARG (0.1 mM) was continuously present in the organ bath to preclude nitric oxide-induced relaxation to EFS. The selective 5-HT(4) receptor agonist prucalopride (0.3 microM) enhanced EFS-evoked contractions, that were antagonized in both preparations by the selective 5-HT(4) receptor antagonist GR 113808 (0.1 microM). The prucalopride-induced increase was present in canine ascending and descending colon, but absent in rectum. Regional differences in response to prucalopride were not observed in human ascending and sigmoid colon and rectum. Incubation with atropine (1 microM) or tetrodotoxin (0.3 microM) inhibited EFS-induced contractions, which were then unaffected by prucalopride (0.3 microM) in both tissues. In the presence of methysergide (3 microM; both tissues) and granisetron (0.3 microM; only human tissues), 5-HT (0.3 microM) enhanced EFS-induced contractions, an effect that was antagonized by GR 113808 (0.1 microM). In the presence of atropine or tetrodotoxin, EFS-induced contractions were inhibited, leaving 5-HT (0.3 microM) ineffective in both preparations. This study demonstrates for the first time that in human and canine large intestine, 5-HT(4) receptors are located on cholinergic neurones, presumably mediating facilitating release of acetylcholine, resulting in enhanced longitudinal muscle contractility. This study and previous circular muscle strip studies suggest that 5-HT(4) receptor agonism facilitates colonic propulsion via a coordinated combination of inhibition of circumferential resistance and enhancement of longitudinal muscle contractility.
