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 profile of opioid and cannabinoid receptors in neurons of the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) has been studied using the whole-cell configuration of the patch clamp technique. 2. Experiments with selective agonists and antagonists of opioid, ORL and cannabinoid receptors indicated that mu-opioid, kappa-opioid, ORL-1 and CB1, but not delta-opioid, receptors inhibit VDCCs in NTS. 3. Application of [D-Ala2, N-Me-Phe4, Gly5-ol]-enkephalin (DAMGO; mu-opioid receptor agonist), Orphanin FQ (ORL-1 receptor agonist) and WIN55,122 (CB1 receptor agonist) caused inhibition of I(Ba) in a concentration-dependent manner, with IC50's of 390 nM, 220 nM and 2.2 microM, respectively. 4. Intracellular dialysis of the G(i)-protein antibody attenuated DAMGO-, Orphanin FQ- and WIN55,122-induced inhibition of I(Ba). 5. Both pretreatment with adenylate cyclase inhibitor and intracellular dialysis of the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor attenuated WIN55,122-induced inhibition of I(Ba) but not DAMGO- and Orphanin FQ-induced inhibition. 6. Mainly N- and P/Q-type VDCCs were inhibited by both DAMGO and Orphanin FQ, while L-type VDCCs were inhibited by WIN55,122. 7. These results suggest that mu- and kappa-opioid receptors and ORL-1 receptor inhibit N- and P/Q-type VDCCs via G alpha(i)-protein betagamma subunits, whereas CB1 receptors inhibit L-type VDCCs via G alpha(i)-proteins involving PKA in NTS.
