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

aimTo examine the phenotype of mice that lack the adenosine A(3) receptor (A(3)R).

methodsWe examined the heart rate, body temperature and locomotion continuously by telemetry over several days. In addition, the effect of the adenosine analogue R-N(6)-phenylisopropyl-adenosine (R-PIA) was examined. We also examined heat production and food intake.

resultsWe found that the marked diurnal variation in activity, heart rate and body temperature, with markedly higher values at night than during day time, was reduced in the A(3)R knock-out mice. Surprisingly, the reduction in heart rate, activity and body temperature seen after injection of R-PIA in wild type mice was virtually eliminated in the A(3)R knock-out mice. The marked reduction in activity was associated with a decreased heat production, as expected. However, the A(3)R knock-out mice, surprisingly, had a higher food intake but no difference in body weight compared to wild type mice.

conclusionsThe mice lacking adenosine A(3) receptors exhibit a surprisingly clear phenotype with changes in diurnal rhythm and temperature regulation. Whether these effects are due to a physiological role of A(3) receptors in these processes or whether they represent a role in development remains to be elucidated.
