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 effects of nicotinic agonists and antagonists on whole-cell currents and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) release were studied in order to characterize nicotinic ACh receptors on the 5-HT-containing chemoreceptor cells of the chicken aorta. ACh, nicotine and dimethylphenylpiperazinium (DMPP) evoked concentration-dependent inward currents accompanied by increases in current noise at a holding potential of -70 mV. The peak amplitude of the current response to DMPP was 50% larger than that to either nicotine or ACH: Hexamethonium, alpha - bungarotoxin (alpha - BTX) and methyllycaconitine decreased nicotine-induced inward currents in a concentration-dependent manner. Although hexamethonium (0.1 mM) abolished the current response to nicotine (30 microM), a high concentration (1 microM) of alpha - BTX decreased it only by about 30% of the control response. Methyllycaconitine (0.1 microM) decreased the current response to nicotine to the same extent as did alpha - BTX whilst a high concentration (10 microM) abolished the response. ACh, nicotine and DMPP caused concentration-dependent increases in 5-HT output from the thoracic aorta which effect was blocked by hexamethonium (0.1 mM). Pre-treatment with alpha - BTX (1 microM) for 30 min reduced the output of 5-HT induced by ACh to 70% of the control response. It is suggested that neuronal nicotinic ACh receptors, sensitive and insensitive to alpha - BTX, are present on the chemoreceptor cells of the chicken aorta, the activation of which causes the release of 5-HT.
