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

During hypoxia blood vessels in various tissues including skeletal muscle, heart and brain dilate in order to increase oxygen delivery to the hypoxic organ. The mechanism has long been of interest, but is still incompletely understood. Adenosine is known to be involved; it is released from cells during hypoxia in the metabolic regulation of blood flow (Berne, 1963). There is also evidence for an involvement of endothelial prostaglandins, nitric oxide (NO) and ATP (from which adenosine can be formed following ectoenzymatic degradation), and smooth muscle K(+) channels in hypoxia-induced vasodilatation (e.g. Busse et al. 1984; Messina et al. 1992). To date there have been few attempts to reconcile these different mechanisms.
