Characteristics of the actions by which 5-HT affects electrical and mechanical activities in rabbit jugular vein.
Article in British journal of pharmacology, 2011. 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
background and purpose5-HT is known to be a potent vasospasmogenic agonist in various arteries. However, in veins the vasomodulating actions of 5-HT, and the underlying mechanisms, remain to be fully clarified. Here, we characterized the actions by which 5-HT affects electrical and mechanical activities in the rabbit jugular vein. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Membrane potential and isometric tension were measured in endothelium-intact and -denuded preparations. Localization of 5-HT receptor subtypes was examined immunohistochemically. KEY
results5-HT induced a transient then a small, sustained smooth muscle cell hyperpolarization in endothelium-intact strips. In endothelium-denuded strips, 5-HT induced only a sustained hyperpolarization, and this was changed to a depolarization by the selective 5-HT(7) receptor inhibitor SB269970. This depolarization was inhibited by the 5-HT(2A) receptor blocker sarpogrelate. 5-HT induced a relaxation of PGF(2α) -induced contracted strips that was similar in endothelium-intact and -denuded preparations. The latter relaxation was changed to contraction by SB269970 and this contraction was inhibited by sarpogrelate. Immunoreactive responses against endothelial and smooth muscle 5-HT(2A) receptors and smooth muscle 5-HT(7) receptors were identified in the vein. The 5-HT-induced relaxation of the PGF(2α) contraction was inhibited by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor Rp-cAMPS and by the AC inhibitor SQ22536. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: These results indicate that 5-HT activates both smooth muscle 5-HT(7) receptors (to produce relaxation) and smooth muscle 5-HT(2A) receptors (to produce contraction) in rabbit jugular vein. We suggest that in this particular vein, the 5-HT(2A) receptor-induced depolarization and contraction are masked by the 5-HT(7) receptor-induced responses, possibly via actions mediated by cAMP.
