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

1. The vascular actions of leukotrienes C4 (LTC4) and LTD4 in the guinea-pig isolated perfused heart were studied in the presence of potassium (K+) channel modulatory compounds. 2. Cromakalim (0.35-10 microM), a K+ channel activator, inhibited the vasoconstrictor responses of LTC4 (30 pmol), LTD4 (30 pmol) and angiotensin II (AII) (100 pmol) in a concentration-dependent manner. 3. Glyceryl trinitrate (10 mgl-1) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (10 nM) induced a similar vasodilator action to cromakalim in the isolated heart but had no effect on responses to LTC4 and LTD4. 4. The inhibitory action by cromakalim (10 microM) on the LTC4 (30 pmol) response could be reversed in the presence of an equimolar concentration of glibenclamide. However, glibenclamide (10 microM) only partially restored the LTD4 (30 pmol) actions. 5. Galanin (10 nM) and charybdotoxin (60 nM) had no effect on the vascular responses to LTC4 and LTD4 (30 pmol). 6. Inhibition by cromakalim of coronary vasospasm induced by vascular LTC4, LTD4 and AII appears to be separate from its vasodilator action and it is postulated that a cromakalim-sensitive mechanism in the coronary vasculature is important in the vasoconstrictor responses to LTC4, LTD4 and AII.
