Functional protease-activated receptors in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus.
Article in Neurogastroenterology and motility, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundProtease-activated receptors (PARs), a family member of G-protein coupled receptors, are present and functionally active in a wide variety of cells. The object of this study was to demonstrate the presence and function of PAR-1 and PAR-2 in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV).
methodsDMNV neurons were isolated from neonatal rat brainstems using micro-dissection and enzymatic digestion. Neurons were cultured in Neurobasal medium A containing 2% B27 supplement. Intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) was measured using fura-2 based microspectrometry. Expression of PARs was detected by RT-PCR and immunofluorescent staining. KEY
resultThrombin and PAR-1 agonist peptide activate PAR-1 with a maximum change in [Ca(2+)](i) expressed as DeltaF/F0 of 229 +/- 14% and 137 +/- 7%, respectively. Trypsin and PAR-2 agonist peptide activate PAR-2 with a maximum DeltaF/F0 change of 258 +/- 12% and 242 +/- 10%, respectively. Inhibition of phospholipase C (PLC) by U73312 (1 microm) decreased the maximal change in DeltaF/F0 induced by PAR-1 activation from 140 +/- 17% to 21 +/- 3%, while the PAR-2-mediated maximal change in DeltaF/F0 decreased from 185 +/- 21% to 19 +/- 6%. Blockade of IP3 receptor with 2APB inhibited the maximal change in DeltaF/F0 due to PAR-1 and PAR-2 activation by 72 +/- 13% and 71 +/- 20% respectively. PAR-1 immnuoreactivity was present in DMV neurons. Increase in transcripts for PAR-1 and PAR-2 were detected in DMV tissues derived from IBD rats relative to control animals. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES: Our results indicate that PAR-1 and PAR-2 are present in the DMV neurons, and their activation leads to increases in intracellular calcium via signal transduction mechanism that involves activation of PLC and the production of IP3.
