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 toxic effect of organophosphates is attributed to irreversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE; EC 3.1.1.7), the enzyme that hydrolyses the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Inhibition potency in vivo of one of the most toxic nerve agents--Russian VX (RVX;N,N-diethyl-2-[methyl-(2-methylpropoxy)phosphoryl]sulfanylethanamine) (1 x LD(50) dose administered intramuscularly, i.m.) was studied in rats. AChE in blood was inhibited by 50%, 3 min after i.m. RVX. Butylcholinesterase (BChE; EC 3.1.1.8) in plasma was inhibited less rapidly and only by 10-20%, 20 min after RVX. AChE and BChE activities in diaphragm were reduced only 35% and 15% at 30 min. While AChE and BChE activities were reduced only about 20% and 15%, respectively, the decline in activity was rapid, occurring within 3 min. These findings indicate that RVX most potently inhibits ChE outside the central nervous system.
