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

This study was carried out to determine whether epinephrine alters the sensitivity of rat vagal sensory neurons. In anesthetized rats, inhalation of epinephrine aerosol (1 and 5 mg/ml, 3 min) induced an elevated baseline activity of pulmonary C fibers and enhanced their responses to lung inflation (20 cm H(2)O, 10 s) and right atrial injection of capsaicin (0.5 microg/kg). In isolated rat nodose and jugular ganglion neurons, perfusion of epinephrine (3 microM, 5 min) alone did not produce any detectable change of the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. However, immediately after the pretreatment with epinephrine, the Ca(2+) transients evoked by chemical stimulants (capsaicin, KCl, and ATP) were markedly potentiated; for example, capsaicin (50 nM, 15 s)-evoked Ca(2+) transient was increased by 106% after epinephrine (P < 0.05; n = 11). The effect of epinephrine was mimicked by either BRL 37344 (5 microM, 5 min) or ICI 215,001 (5 microM, 5 min), two selective beta(3)-adrenoceptor agonists, and blocked by SR 59230A (5 microM, 10 min), a selective beta(3)-adrenoceptor antagonist, whereas pretreatment with phenylephrine (alpha(1)-adenoceptor agonist), guanabenz (alpha(2)-adrenoceptor agonist), dobutamine (beta(1)-adrenoceptor agonist), or salbutamol (beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonist) had no significant effect on capsaicin-evoked Ca(2+) transient. Furthermore, pretreatment with SQ 22536 (100-300 microM, 15 min), an adenylate cyclase inhibitor, and H89 (3 microM, 15 min), a PKA inhibitor, completely abolished the potentiating effect of epinephrine. Our results suggest that epinephrine enhances the excitability of rat vagal chemosensitive neurons. This sensitizing effect of epinephrine is likely mediated through the activation of beta(3)-adrenoceptor and intracellular cAMP-PKA signaling cascade.
