Mechanism of nicotine-evoked release of 3H-noradrenaline in human cerebral cortex slices.
Article in British journal of pharmacology, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
1. The mechanism of stimulation of noradrenaline (NA) release by nicotine (NIC) was investigated in human cerebral cortex slices preloaded with 3H-noradrenaline. 2 NIC (10-1000 micro M) increased 3H-NA release in a concentration-dependent manner. 3. NIC (100 micro M)-evoked 3H-NA release was largely dependent on external Ca2+, and was attenuated by omega-conotoxin GVIA (0.1 micro M) but not by nitrendipine (1 micro M). 4. Tetrodotoxin (1 micro M) and nisoxetine (0.1 micro M) attenuated the NIC (100 micro M)-evoked release of 3H-NA. 5. Mecamylamine (10 micro M), dihydro-beta-erythroidine (10 micro M) and d-tubocurarine (30 micro M), but not alpha-bungarotoxin (alpha-BTX, 0.1 micro M), attenuated the NIC (100 micro M)-evoked release of 3H-NA. 6. NIC (100 micro M)-evoked release of 3H-NA was not affected by 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX, 30 micro M) and D(-)-2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid (D-AP5, 100 micro M), but attenuated by MK-801 (10 micro M). MK-801 (0.1-1000 micro M) displaced the specific binding of 3H-nisoxetine with K(i) values of 91.2 micro M. NIC (100, 300 and 1000 micro M) did not induce 3H-D-aspartate release in human cerebral cortex slices. 7. NIC (100 micro M)-evoked release of 3H-NA was attenuated by 7-nitroindazole (10 micro M), N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester HCl (L-NAME, 30 micro M), N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine acetate (L-NMMA, 300 micro M). [(3)H]-NA release induced by NIC (100 micro M) was attenuated by methylene blue (3 micro M) and 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazole[4,3-alpha]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ, 10 micro M), and enhanced by zaprinast (30 micro M). 8. In conclusion, NIC stimulates the release of 3H-NA through activation of alpha-BTX-insensitive nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the human cerebral cortex slices and this action of NIC is associated with modulation of the NO/cGMP pathway.
