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

The recently identified endothelium-derived peptide, endothelin, is a potent vasoconstrictor, but also binds specifically to many types of smooth muscle and to nerve tissue. Endothelin has been detected in plasma and may have physiological or pathological functions. Like other agonists, endothelin increases the turnover of phosphatidyl inositol and liberates intracellular stocks of Ca2+. It also increases plasmalemmal Ca2+ permeability, an effect that is antagonized by calcium entry blockers in some tissues. However, the characteristics of this antagonism are not always typical of that seen when other types of agonists are employed. It seems that in at least some cell types endothelin might activate specific L-type Ca2+ channels indirectly, perhaps secondarily to the activation of another type of cation channel. The endothelin originally described is one of a family of peptides that are closely related to the sarafotoxins. The comparative pharmacology of these peptides and of some analogues of the originally described endothelin have revealed some surprising differences and may indicate the existence of different endothelin receptors.
