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

rationaleMany antipsychotics cause orthostatic hypotension possibly due to antagonist action on resistance vessel alpha1A-adrenoceptors (alpha1A-AR).

objectiveWe have tested this possibility by determining in Wistar rats how the orthostatic hypotensive effect of several antipsychotic drugs compares with their affinity for adrenoceptors in mesenteric small arteries (MSA with mainly alpha1A-AR) and aorta (mainly alpha1D-AR). MATERIALS AND

methodsUsing a tilt setup, orthostatic hypotension was measured in anaesthetized rats for prazosin and the antipsychotics haloperidol, sertindole, risperidone, clozapine, ziprasidone, domperidone, olanzapine, and aripiprazole. For in vitro studies, segments of MSA and aorta were mounted on a wire myograph for isometric tension recording. Cumulative concentration-response curves were constructed to phenylephrine (PE) in the absence and presence of the drugs. Apparent affinity (pA2) was calculated by Schild analysis.

resultsPrazosin antagonized tilt-induced and PE responses in both studies (threshold 4 ng/ml, pA2 9.52 MSA, 10.1 aorta). The rank order of the potency of the antipsychotics in the tilt experiments correlated (r2 = 0.69, P = 0.01) with the pA2-values in MSA: Risperidone and sertindole had the highest potency in the tilt test (threshold 159 and 97 ng/ml) and the highest apparent affinity in MSA (pA2 8.92 and 8.78), in contrast with aripiprazole and domperidone, which had the lowest in each case (threshold 4.1 and 3.0 microg/ml, pA2 7.17 and 6.99). In aorta, the pA2 values did not correlate with the in vivo potencies; in particular, sertindole had no functional affinity in aorta.

conclusionWe conclude that the orthostatic hypotensive effect in rats of the antipsychotic drugs investigated is mediated through alpha1A-ARs.
