P2X purinoceptors mediate an endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization in longitudinal smooth muscle of anterior mesenteric artery in young chickens.
Article in British journal of pharmacology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
background and purposeThe chicken anterior mesenteric artery contains an outer longitudinal smooth muscle layer, whose neural regulation remains to be elucidated. ATP evokes a depolarization in the smooth muscle through P2Y purinoceptors. However, there may be an additional inhibitory regulation because blockade of P2Y purinoceptors converts the depolarization to hyperpolarization. The objective of the present study was to examine the mechanism underlying this hyperpolarization. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Membrane potentials of longitudinal smooth muscle of the chicken mesenteric artery were recorded with a microelectrode technique. Perivascular nerves were stimulated by applying electrical field stimulation (EFS). KEY
resultsEFS induced a hyperpolarization in preparations obtained from 5-week-old chickens, whereas it evoked a depolarization in those from 12-week-old chickens. The EFS-evoked hyperpolarization in 5-week-old chickens was blocked by a non-specific purinoceptor antagonist, suramin, and by a specific P2X purinoceptor antagonist, pyridoxal phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulphonic acid. Desensitization of the P2X purinoceptor with its agonist alpha,beta-MeATP significantly suppressed EFS-evoked hyperpolarization. Blockade of the P2Y purinoceptor did not affect EFS-evoked hyperpolarization. The application of the NOS inhibitor Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester or the removal of the endothelium inhibited the hyperpolarization. The application of the nitric oxide (NO) donor sodium nitroprusside mimicked the hyperpolarization. Reverse transcriptase-PCR showed that P2X purinoceptors are expressed in the endothelium of the anterior mesenteric artery. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Hyperpolarization in the longitudinal smooth muscle of the chicken anterior mesenteric artery was induced by ATP. ATP released from perivascular nerves may act on P2X purinoceptors in the endothelium and thereby stimulate NO production.
