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 neuronal ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels is an important mechanism that protects neurons and conserves neural function during hypoxia. We investigated hypoxia (bath gassed with 95% N(2)-5% CO(2) vs. 95% O(2)-5% CO(2) in control)-induced changes in K(ATP) current in second-order neurons of peripheral chemoreceptors in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS). Hypoxia-induced K(ATP) currents were compared between normoxic (Norm) rats and rats exposed to 1 wk of either chronic sustained hypoxia (CSH) or chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH). Whole cell recordings of NTS second-order neurons identified after 4-(4-(dihexadecylamino)styryl)-N-methylpyridinium iodide (DiA) labeling of the carotid bodies were obtained in a brain stem slice. In Norm cells (n = 9), hypoxia (3 min) induced an outward current of 12.7 +/- 1.1 pA with a reversal potential of -73 +/- 2 mV. This current was completely blocked by the K(ATP) channel blocker tolbutamide (100 muM). Bath application of the K(ATP) channel opener diazoxide (200 muM, 3 min) evoked an outward current of 21.8 +/- 5.8 pA (n = 6). Hypoxia elicited a significantly smaller outward current in both CSH (5.9 +/- 1.4 pA, n = 11; P < 0.01) and CIH (6.8 +/- 1.7 pA, n = 6; P < 0.05) neurons. Diazoxide elicited a significantly smaller outward current in CSH (3.9 +/- 1.0 pA, n = 5; P < 0.05) and CIH (2.9 +/- 0.9 pA, n = 3; P < 0.05) neurons. Western blot analysis showed reduced levels of K(ATP) potassium channel subunits Kir6.1 and Kir6.2 in the NTS from CSH and CIH rats. These results suggest that hypoxia activates K(ATP) channels in NTS neurons receiving monosynaptic chemoreceptor afferent inputs. Chronic exposure to either sustained or intermittent hypoxia reduces K(ATP) channel function in NTS neurons. This may represent a neuronal adaptation that preserves neuronal excitability in crucial relay neurons in peripheral chemoreflex pathways.
