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

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) plays an essential role in the control of total peripheral vascular resistance by controlling the contraction of small arteries. The SNS also exerts long-term trophic influences in health and disease; SNS hyperactivity accompanies most forms of human essential hypertension, obesity and heart failure. At their junctions with smooth muscle cells, the peri-arterial sympathetic nerves release ATP, noradrenaline (NA) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) onto smooth muscle cells. Confocal Ca(2+) imaging studies reveal that ATP and NA each produce unique types of postjunctional Ca(2+) signals and consequent smooth muscle cell contractions. Neurally released ATP activates postjunctional P2X(1) receptors to produce local, non-propagating Ca(2+) transients, termed 'junctional Ca(2+) transients', or 'jCaTs'. Neurally released NA binds to alpha(1)-adrenoceptors and can activate Ca(2+) waves or more uniform global changes in [Ca(2+)]. Neurally released NPY does not appear to produce Ca(2+) transients directly, but significantly modulates NA-induced Ca(2+) signalling. The neural release of ATP and NA, as judged by postjunctional Ca(2+) signals, electrical recording of excitatory junction potentials and carbon fibre amperometry to measure NA, varies markedly with the pattern of nerve activity. This probably reflects both pre- and postjunctional mechanisms, which are not yet fully understood. These phenomena, together with different temporal patterns of sympathetic nerve activity in different regional circulations, are probably an important mechanistic basis of the important selective regulation of regional vascular resistance and blood flow by the sympathetic nervous system.
