Functional 5-HT receptors in human occipital artery.

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
5-HT receptors were studied in human occipital arteries, obtained from patients during neurosurgery. We detected mRNA for the following receptors (incidence): 5-HT(1B) (14/18), 5-HT(1D) (15/18), 5-HT(2A) (16/18), 5-HT(2B) (8/8), 5-HT(4(a)) (13/18), 5-HT(4(b)) (5/18), 5-HT(4(g)) (7/18), 5-HT(4(i)) (1/18), 5-HT(7(a/b)) (10/18) and 5-HT(7(d)) (12/18). 5-HT contracted and relaxed arterial rings at low (-logEC(50) M=7.0) and high (-logEC(50) M=4.2) concentrations, respectively. 5-HT-evoked contractions were antagonized partially by both 5-HT(1B)-selective SB224289 (200 nM) and 5-HT(2A)-selective ketanserin (1 microM) but not by 5-HT(1D)-selective BRL15572 (500 nM) or prazosin (1 microM). Sumatriptan caused contractions (-logEC(50) M=6.8, intrinsic activity with respect to 5-HT=0.3). Sumatriptan-evoked contractions were antagonized by SB224289 with high potency (pK(B)=9.4) but not by BRL15572. 5-HT-induced relaxations were resistant to blockade by 5-HT(1B)-selective SB224289 (1 microM), 5-HT(1D)-selective BRL15572, 5-HT(2B)-selective SB204741 (1 microM), 5-HT(4)-selective GR113808 (100 nM) and 5-HT(7)-selective SB269970 (1 microM), and a combination of SB204741 and SB269970, inconsistent with an involvement of 5-HT(1B), 5-HT(1D), 5-HT(2B), 5-HT(4) and 5-HT(7) receptors. Triton X-100 treatment of the arteries abolished acetylcholine-induced relaxations of rings precontracted by prostaglandin F(2alpha), but a reduction of the relaxant effects of 5-HT did not reach significance. Nitro-L-arginine (1 mM) reduced 5-HT-induced relaxations, suggesting a contribution of nitric oxide released from endothelial cells. Ketanserin (1 microM) prevented the relaxant effects of 5-HT. We conclude that 5-HT contracts human occipital artery through 5-HT(1B) receptors at low concentrations and through 5-HT(2A) receptors at high concentrations. Sumatriptan contracts mostly through 5-HT(1B) receptors. These results are consistent with the 5-HT(1B) and 5-HT(2A) mRNA data. 5-HT-induced relaxation is mediated, in part, through ketanserin-sensitive receptors, but 5-HT(1B), 5-HT(1D), 5-HT(2B), 5-HT(4) and 5-HT(7) receptors appear not to be involved.
