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

We developed an isolated tracheally perfused (35-37 degrees C) nerve-lung preparation for the study of bronchopulmonary afferent nerve activity in the mouse. Extracellular recordings were made from the vagal sensory neurons located in the jugular-nodose ganglia complex (JNC) with identified receptive fields in the lungs. Analysis of the vagal compound action potential revealed that the mouse vagal C-fibre conduction velocities range from 0.3 to 1.5 m s(-1). A total of 83 bronchopulmonary C-fibres were studied. The sensitivity of the bronchopulmonary C-fibres to the vanilloid receptor 1 (VR1) agonist capsaicin was dependent on conduction velocity. Thus C-fibres with conduction velocities between 0.3 and 0.7 m s(-1) responded to capsaicin (1 microM) while C-fibres with conduction velocities between 0.7 and 1.5 m s(-1) were capsaicin insensitive. Similarly, bradykinin (1 microM) excited only those C-fibres with conduction velocities < 0.7 m s(-1). The response to bradykinin was not mimicked by the B1 receptor agonist [des-Arg9]bradykinin (1 microM) and was abolished by the bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist HOE 140 (1 microM). Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP, 30 microM) activated the C-fibres irrespective of the conduction velocities. This response was mimicked by the selective P2X agonist alpha,beta-methylene-adenosine 5'-triphosphate (30 microM). Consistent with the electrophysiology, morphological analysis revealed that only approximately 40% of the lung-specific small diameter (< 20 microm) JNC neurons consistent with the C-fibre cell bodies display VR1 immunoreactivity. This study describes a convenient in vitro method for the study of mouse bronchopulmonary C-fibres. The results indicate that C-fibres in the mouse lungs are not homogeneous, but can be subclassified into capsaicin-sensitive and capsaicin-insensitive phenotypes.
