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

The pharmacology once ascribed to the 'beta4-adrenoceptor' is now believed to be that of a low-affinity state of the beta1-adrenoceptor. The beta2-adrenoceptor may also have a low-affinity state or site, while the beta3-adrenoceptor--the original low-affinity beta-adrenoceptor--can display more than one pharmacology. In this issue, Mallem et al. show that CGP-12177 relaxes thoracic aorta rings from normal rats by stimulating vascular smooth muscle low-affinity beta1-adrenoceptors, apparently linked in part to Gi protein. By contrast, in rings from hypertensive rats, CGP-12177 acts mainly via endothelial beta3-adrenoceptors. This work raises the possibility that low-affinity states of beta-adrenoceptors have physiological roles, and suggests that they might be drug targets.
