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

Immunoreactivities (IR) for catecholamine-synthesizing enzymes tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DbetaH), phenylethanolamine N-methyl transferase (PNMT), serotonin-synthesizing enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase, and neuropeptide Y were investigated in the intrinsic cardiac nervous system of 27-40-day-old rats using fluorescent immunohistochemistry. Individual neurons were identified by the general neuronal marker protein gene product 9.5. The presence of DbetaH and PNMT in the atrial specimens was verified using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Two types of catecholamine-handling intrinsic ganglion neurons were observed: small intensely fluorescent (SIF) cells and large-diameter neurons. SIF cells exhibited TH- and tryptophan hydroxylase-IR, but they were not positive for DbetaH. In contrast, large-diameter intrinsic TH-positive neurons, showing in majority also NPY-IR, displayed also DbetaH- and PNMT-IR, thus indicating the capacity for the synthesis of norepinephrine and epinephrine, respectively. In conclusion, the SIF cells are most probably dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons, whereas large-diameter intrinsic cells seem to represent a subpopulation of norepinephrine- and/or epinephrine-secreting neurons.
