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 pre- and postganglionic sympathetic innervation of the guinea-pig adrenal medulla was investigated using the retrograde neuronal tracers Fast Blue and WGA-HRP. Labelled preganglionic cell bodies were located in the intermediolateral horn of spinal segments T3-L2, the majority (73.9%) were found between T6-T12 representing 70.2% of the total number of labelled cells; the segment T10 contained the largest number of labelled neurons. Labelled postganglionic cell bodies were found in the paravertebral ganglia between vertebral levels T3-T12 (representing 22.6% of the total labelled neurons), the maximum number was found at T10. In addition, labelled neurons were found in the suprarenal ganglion (representing 7.2%). No labelled cells were found in the coeliac ganglia. The labelled neurons were found ipsilateral to the site of injection into the left adrenal gland. It is concluded that the guinea-pig adrenal gland receives both a pre- and a significant postganglionic sympathetic innervation. The destination of these nerve fibres within the adrenal gland has yet to be determined.
