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

Activation of both beta(1)- and beta(2)-adrenoceptors increases the contractility of human atrial myocardium through cyclic AMP-dependent pathways. Cyclic AMP is hydrolised by phosphodiesterases, but little is known about which isoenzymes catalyse inotropically relevant cyclic AMP accumulated upon stimulation of beta-adrenoceptor subtypes. We have compared the positive inotropic effects of (-)-noradrenaline and (-)-adrenaline, mediated through beta(1)- and beta(2)-adrenoceptors, respectively, in the absence and presence of the PDE3 inhibitor cilostamide (300 nM) or PDE4 inhibitor rolipram (1 muM) on human atrial trabeculae from non-failing hearts. Cilostamide, but not rolipram, potentiated the effects of both (-)-noradrenaline and (-)-adrenaline. Cilostamide increased the -logEC(50)M of (-)-adrenaline more than of (-)-noradrenaline (P < 0.05), regardless of whether or not the patients had been chronically treated with beta-blockers. The results are consistent with a greater PDE3-catalysed hydrolysis of inotropically relevant cyclic AMP produced through beta(2)-adrenoceptors than beta(1)-adrenoceptors in human atrium.
