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 endogenous cannabinoid agonist, anandamide produced a modest contractile response in guinea-pig isolated bronchus compared with the vanilloid receptor agonist capsaicin. The contractile response to both anandamide and capsaicin was inhibited by the vanilloid receptor antagonist, capsazepine. Furthermore, the NK(2)-selective antagonist, SR48968 but not the NK(1)-selective antagonist, SR140333 inhibited contractile responses to anandamide. The contractile response to anandamide was abolished in tissues desensitized by capsaicin. However, anandamide failed to cross-desensitize the contractile response to capsaicin. The contractile response to anandamide was not significantly altered in the presence of the CB(1) receptor antagonist, SR141716A, nor the amidase inhibitor, phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride (PMSF) but was significantly increased in the presence of the neutral endopeptidase inhibitor, thiorphan. The cannabinoid agonist, CP55,940 failed to significantly attenuate the excitatory non-adrenergic non-cholinergic (eNANC) response in guinea-pig airways. In contrast, the ORL(1) receptor agonist, nociceptin, significantly inhibited this response. The results demonstrate that anandamide induces a modest contractile response in guinea-pig isolated bronchus that is dependent upon the activation of vanilloid receptors on airway sensory nerves. However, cannabinoid receptors do not appear to play a role in this regard, nor in regulating the release of neuropeptides from airway sensory nerves under physiological conditions.
