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 acute and chronic effects of certain drugs can often be opposite. For example, in congestive heart failure acute administration of β-adrenoceptor agonists results in beneficial improvement in symptoms of the disease, but their chronic use increases mortality. Conversely, certain β-adrenoceptor antagonists/inverse agonists (β-blockers) initially cause a detrimental response by decreasing cardiac contractility in congestive heart failure, whereas chronic treatment with the same β-blockers improves contractility and survival. Furthermore, this time-dependent reversal of outcomes occurs in nonpharmacological interventions, such as exercise, and can even be observed in the response of plants to pruning or other stressors, with the results being a different short-term versus long-term effect. Here, we review some of these phenomena with a special emphasis on the temporal dissociation of pharmacological effects. Although Francis Colpaert used this knowledge to lead a drug discovery project for an analgesic compound that initially produced hyperalgesia, we focused on examples outside the central nervous system.
