Thermoregulatory control of sympathetic fibres supplying the rat's tail.

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
We investigated the thermoregulatory responses of sympathetic fibres supplying the tail in urethane-anaesthetised rats. When skin and rectal temperatures were kept above 39 degrees C, tail sympathetic fibre activity was low or absent. When the trunk skin was cooled episodically by 2-7 degrees C by a water jacket, tail sympathetic activity increased in a graded fashion below a threshold skin temperature of 37.8 +/- 0.6 degrees C, whether or not core (rectal) temperature changed. Repeated cooling episodes lowered body core temperature by 1.3-3.1 degrees C, and this independently activated tail sympathetic fibre activity, in a graded fashion, below a threshold rectal temperature of 38.4 +/- 0.2 degrees C. Tail blood flow showed corresponding graded vasoconstrictor responses to skin and core cooling, albeit over a limited range. Tail sympathetic activity was more sensitive to core than to trunk skin cooling by a factor that varied widely (24-fold) between animals. Combined skin and core cooling gave additive or facilitatory responses near threshold but occlusive interactions with stronger stimuli. Unilateral warming of the preoptic area reversibly inhibited tail sympathetic activity. This was true for activity generated by either skin or core cooling. Single tail sympathetic units behaved homogeneously. Their sensitivity to trunk skin cooling was 0.3 +/- 0.08 spikes s(-1) degrees C(-1) and to core cooling was 2.2 +/- 0.5 spikes s(-1) degrees C(-1). Their maximum sustained firing rate in the cold was 1.82 +/- 0.35 spikes s(-1).
