Synergism in the autonomic regulation of parotid secretion of protein in sheep.
Article in The Journal of physiology, 1992. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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. Stimulation of the cervical sympathetic nerve continuously at 2 Hz, or in bursts of 1 s at 20 Hz every 10 s, for 5 min doubled the resting flow of parotid secretion in anaesthetized sheep and increased its concentration of protein. It also caused a significant increase in the concentration of potassium and decreased that of sodium: these latter effects were linearly inversely related. 2. Stimulation of the parotid nerves (the parasympathetic innervation) continuously at 2 Hz increased the flow of parotid secretion over 15-fold which was significantly more than that which occurred in response to stimulation in bursts at 20 Hz. However, the latter pattern of stimulation significantly increased the concentration of protein in the saliva, which was not altered by stimulation at 2 Hz continuously. 3. Simultaneous stimulation of both the parotid and sympathetic nerves at 20 Hz in bursts substantially increased the output of protein from the gland, above that recorded in response to stimulation of either alone, without potentiating either the volume of secretion produced or the outputs of sodium or potassium. 4. The output of protein was also potentiated when both nerves were stimulated simultaneously at 2 Hz continuously but this pattern of stimulation elicited the secretion of a significantly smaller amount of protein. 5. All parotid responses to stimulation of the parotid nerves, either continuously at 2 Hz or in bursts at 20 Hz, were abolished by atropine (greater than or equal to 0.5 mg kg-1 I.V.), as was potentiation of protein secretion during combined stimulation with the sympathetic innervation. 6. Stimulation of the parotid nerves in bursts at a higher frequency (60 Hz for 1 s at 20 s intervals) elicited a sparse flow of parotid saliva in atropinized animals without significant increase in protein output, with or without simultaneous stimulation of the sympathetic innervation. 7. The results of these experiments show that secretion of protein by the parotid gland, in response to stimulation of the parasympathetic innervation, depends on the pattern of stimulation and is potentiated by concomitant stimulation of the sympathetic innervation in anaesthetized sheep.
