The effect of pro-inflammatory cytokines on the discharge rate of vagal nerve paraganglia in the rat.
Article in Respiratory physiology & neurobiology, 2010. 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
Vagal paraganglia resemble the carotid body and are chemosensitive to reduction in the partial pressure of oxygen (P O2) (O'Leary et al., 2004). We hypothesised that they may also mediate communication between the immune system and the central nervous system and more specifically respond to the pro-inflammatory cytokines: interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). We recorded axonal firing rate of isolated superfused rat glomus cells - located at the bifurcation of the superior laryngeal nerve - to IL-1 beta or TNF-alpha at concentrations of 0.5 ng/ml, 5 ng/ml and 50 ng/ml. Twenty-three successful single fibre recordings were obtained from 10 animals. IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha had no statistically significant effect on the frequency of action potentials observed (p=0.39 and 0.42, respectively, repeated measures ANOVA). The activity of both cytokines was tested by observing translocation of P65-NF kappaB from cytoplasm to nucleus in cultured HELA cells. In conclusion, an immune role for SLN paraganglia has not been established.
