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

Heat and cold exposure can decrease and increase total peripheral resistance, respectively, in humans. With unique access to human skeletal muscle feed arteries, we sought both to characterize these vessels and to determine the interaction between temperature and α(1)-adrenergic receptor responsiveness. We hypothesized that α(1)-mediated vasocontraction of human feed arteries would be attenuated in response to 39 or 35°C. Skeletal muscle feed arteries were harvested from thirty-two human volunteers and studied using isometric techniques. Vessel function was assessed using KCl, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), phenylephrine (PE) and ACh dose-response curves to characterize non-receptor- and receptor-mediated vasocontraction and vasorelaxation. Single doses of PE (1 mm) and KCl (100 mm) were administered at 37°C and then, in a balanced design, repeated at both 35 and 39°C. The KCl and PE dose-response curves elicited significant vasocontraction (2009 ± 407 and 1974 ± 508 mg developed tension, respectively), whereas SNP and ACh induced the expected vasorelaxation (102 ± 6 and 73 ± 10% relaxation, respectively). Altering the temperature had no effect on inherent smooth muscle function (KCl response), but both a reduction (35°C) and an increase in temperature (39°C) decreased the vasocontractile response to 1 mm PE (37°C, 1478 ± 338 mg; 35°C, 546 ± 104 mg; and 39°C, 896 ± 202 mg; P < 0.05) or across PE dose (P < 0.05, 35 and 39 versus 37°C). Despite clear heterogeneity between both the human volunteers and the feed arteries themselves, this novel approach to the procurement of human vessels revealed a robust 'inverted U' response to altered temperature, such that α(1)-mediated vasocontraction was attenuated with either warming or cooling.
