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

Intraganglionic laminar endings (IGLEs) represent the major vagal afferent terminals throughout the gut. Electrophysiological experiments revealed a modulatory role of ATP in the IGLE-mechanotransduction process and the P2X(2)-receptor has been described in IGLEs of mouse, rat and guinea pig. Another purinoceptor, the P2X(3)-receptor, was found in IGLEs of the rat esophagus. These findings prompted us to investigate occurrence and distribution of the P2X(3)-receptor in the mouse esophagus. Using multichannel immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy, P2X(3)-immunoreactivity (-iry) was found colocalized with the vesicular glutamate transporter 2 (VGLUT2), a specific marker for IGLEs, on average in three-fourths of esophageal IGLEs. The distribution of P2X(3) immunoreactive (-ir) IGLEs was similar to that of P2X(2)-iry and showed increasing numbers towards the abdominal esophagus. P2X(3)/P2X(2)-colocalization within IGLEs suggested the occurrence of heteromeric P2X(2/3) receptors. In contrast to the rat, where only a few P2X(3)-ir perikarya were described, P2X(3) stained perikarya in ~80% of myenteric ganglia in the mouse. Detailed analysis revealed P2X(3)-iry in subpopulations of nitrergic (nNOS) and cholinergic (ChAT) myenteric neurons and ganglionic neuropil of the mouse esophagus. We conclude that ATP might act as a neuromodulator in IGLEs via a (P2X(2))-P2X(3) receptor-mediated pathway especially in the abdominal portion of the mouse esophagus.
