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

Adrenomedullary chromaffin (AMC) cells are sensitive to hypoxia in the newborn, but whether this property is lost during postnatal maturation is a matter of controversy. We have developed a rat adrenal slice preparation that allows the study of neonatal and adult AMC cell sensitivity to hypoxia in almost optimal physiological conditions. Responses to secretagogues can be quantitatively and noninvasively monitored in intact cells by amperometry. We have found hypoxia "responsive" (R) and "non-responsive" AMC cells in both neonatal (P0-P8) and juvenile/adult (P12-P60) adrenal glands. However, in the neonate, the proportion of R cells and the magnitude of the response to hypoxia were larger than in the adult. This developmental change of hypoxia responsiveness did not seem to depend on a decrease of the AMC cell's excitability. Spontaneous secretory activity in slices from adult rats was even increased with respect to neonatal animals. The analysis of the secretory events suggests that changes in spike frequency, rather than in vesicle size, account for the increased basal secretion rate in adult AMC cells. Thus, we report a major, but not complete, loss of direct hypoxia sensitivity in adult AMC cells. The adrenal slice appears to be a valuable technique to study acute O(2) sensing and its modifications in pathophysiological states.
