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

Hypocretin receptor-2 (Hcrt-r2)-mutated dogs exhibit all the major symptoms of human narcolepsy and respond to drugs that increase or decrease cataplexy as do narcoleptic humans; yet, unlike narcoleptic humans, the narcoleptic dogs have normal hypocretin levels. We find that drugs that reduce or increase cataplexy in the narcoleptic dogs, greatly increase and decrease, respectively, hypocretin levels in normal dogs. The effects of these drugs on heart rate and blood pressure, which were considerable, were not correlated with their effects on cataplexy. Administration of these drugs to Hcrt-r2-mutated dogs produced indistinguishable changes in heart rate and blood pressure, indicating that neither central nor peripheral Hcrt-r2 is required for these cardiovascular effects. However, in contrast to the marked Hcrt level changes in the normal dogs, these drugs did not alter hypocretin levels in the Hcrt-r2 mutants. We conclude that Hcrt-r2 is a vital element in a feedback loop integrating Hcrt, acetylcholine, and norepinephrine function. In the absence of functional Hcrt-r2, Hcrt levels are not affected by monoaminergic and cholinergic drugs, despite the strong modulation of cataplexy by these drugs. Conversely, strong transient reductions of Hcrt level by these drugs do not produce episodes of cataplexy in normal dogs. The Hcrt-r2 mutation causes drug-induced cataplexy by virtue of its long-term effect on the functioning of other brain systems, rather than by increasing the magnitude of phasic changes in Hcrt level. A similar mechanism may be operative in spontaneous cataplexy in narcoleptic dogs as well as in narcoleptic humans.
