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

Using electrophysiological techniques, the discharge of neurones in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) receiving aortic depressor nerve (ADN) inputs was examined during blood pressure changes induced by I.V. phenylephrine or nitroprusside in anaesthetized, paralysed and artificially ventilated rats. Various changes in discharge rate were observed during phenylephrine-induced blood pressure elevations: an increase (n = 38), a decrease (n = 5), an increase followed by a decrease (n = 4) and no response (n = 11). In cells receiving a monosynaptic ADN input (MSNs), the peak discharge frequency response was correlated to the rate of increase in mean arterial pressure (P < 0.01) but was not correlated to the absolute increase in blood pressure. The peak discharge frequency response of cells receiving a polysynaptic ADN input (PSNs) was correlated to neither the absolute increase in blood pressure nor the rate of increase in mean arterial pressure. Diverse changes in discharge rate were observed during nitroprusside-induced reductions in blood pressure: an increase (n = 3), a decrease (n = 10), an increase followed by a decrease (n = 3) and no response (n = 6). Reductions in pressure of 64 +/- 2 mmHg produced weak reductions in spontaneous discharge of 1.3 +/- 0.9 Hz and only totally abolished spontaneous discharge in one neurone. These response patterns of NTS neurones during changes in arterial pressure suggest that baroreceptor inputs are integrated differently in MSNs compared to PSNs. The sensitivity of MSNs to the rate of change of pressure provides a mechanism for the rapid regulation of cardiovascular function. The lack of sensitivity to the mean level of a pressure increase in both MSNs and PSNs suggests that steady-state changes in pressure are encoded by the number of active neurones and not graded changes in the discharge of individual neurones. Both MSNs and PSNs receive tonic excitatory inputs from the arterial baroreceptors; however, these tonic inputs appear to be insufficient to totally account for their spontaneous discharge.
