Pharmacological characterization of ergotamine-induced inhibition of the cardioaccelerator sympathetic outflow in pithed rats.

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.
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
Ergotamine inhibits the sympathetically-induced tachycardia in pithed rats. The present study identified the pharmacological profile of this response. Male Wistar rats were pithed and prepared to stimulate the preganglionic (C(7)-T(1)) cardiac sympathetic outflow. Intravenous continuous infusions of ergotamine dose-dependently inhibited the tachycardic responses to sympathetic stimulation, but not those to exogenous noradrenaline. Using several antagonists, the sympatho-inhibition to ergotamine was: (1) partially blocked by rauwolscine (alpha(2)), haloperidol (D(1/2)-like) or rauwolscine plus GR127935 (5-HT(1B/1D)); (2) abolished by rauwolscine plus haloperidol; and (3) unaffected by either saline or GR127935. In animals systematically pretreated with haloperidol, this sympatho-inhibition was: (1) unaffected by BRL44408 (alpha(2A)), partially antagonized by MK912 (alpha(2C)); and (3) abolished by BRL44408 plus MK912. These antagonists failed to modify the sympathetically induced tachycardic responses per se. Thus, the cardiac sympatho-inhibition by ergotamine may be mainly mediated by alpha(2A)/alpha(2C)-adrenoceptors, D(2)-like receptors and, to a lesser extent, by 5-HT(1B/1D) receptors.
