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

Neuronal activity is communicated to the cerebral vasculature so that adequate perfusion of brain tissue is maintained at all levels of neuronal metabolism. An increase in neuronal activity is accompanied by vasodilation and an increase in local cerebral blood flow. This process, known as neurovascular coupling (NVC) or functional hyperemia, is essential for cerebral homeostasis and survival. Neuronal activity is encoded in astrocytic Ca(2+) signals that travel to astrocytic processes (;endfeet') encasing parenchymal arterioles within the brain. Astrocytic Ca(2+) signals cause the release of vasoactive substances to cause relaxation, and in some circumstances contraction, of the smooth muscle cells (SMCs) of parenchymal arterioles to modulate local cerebral blood flow. Activation of potassium channels in the SMCs has been proposed to mediate NVC. Here, the current state of knowledge of NVC and potassium channels in parenchymal arterioles is reviewed.
