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. We have studied the effect of substance P (SP) on catecholamine (CA) secretion evoked by prolonged field stimulation from the perfused rat adrenal gland in vitro. 2. Previous studies show that SP has an inhibitory effect on the nicotinic response in a number of different tissue preparations. In the present study, we found that SP at concentrations from 10(-7) to 10(-6) M markedly increased CA secretion evoked by prolonged high-frequency field stimulation but not that evoked by low-frequency field stimulation. 3. In the absence of field stimulation SP by itself had no direct effect on CA secretion. This indicates that SP acts as a neuromodulator rather than a neurotransmitter to increase CA secretion from the adrenal medulla. 4. The nicotinic receptors were still functional following a period of prolonged field stimulation (120 min) because CA secretion was markedly increased in response to the nicotinic agonist dimethylphenylpiperazinium (DMPP). 5. Capsaicin pre-treatment reduced CA secretion evoked by prolonged field stimulation and the facilitatory action of SP on CA secretion lasted longer in these capsaicin-pre-treated rats than in controls, indicating that SP-containing capsaicin-sensitive fibres innervating the adrenal medulla may be involved in the regulation of CA secretion. 6. In parallel with the increase in CA secretion, 3H overflow from the splanchnic nerve pre-labelled with [3H]choline was also increased by SP. The increase in CA secretion by SP lasted longer than the increase in 3H overflow. These results suggest that SP facilitates CA secretion from the adrenal gland at two levels: (1) pre-synaptically by facilitating ACh release from splanchnic nerve terminals, and (2) post-synaptically by modulating the nicotinic secretory response by protection against nicotinic desensitization of secretion. 7. The present studies provide further evidence that endogenous SP in the splanchnic nerve may modulate CA secretion during stress.
