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

1. The nature of the adrenoceptors mediating the inhibitory action of noradrenaline, ritodrine and salbutamol on the spontaneous activity of longitudinal muscle of the rabbit jejunum in vitro was investigated by use of a range of adrenoceptor antagonists. 2. The actions of ritodrine and salbutamol were antagonized competitively by propranolol. The pA2 values of 6.4 and 6.6 respectively were smaller than those found elsewhere for beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors. 3. In contrast, the responses to ritodrine and salbutamol were antagonized only by high concentrations (greater than 2.7 microM) of phentolamine and were unaffected by yohimbine (2.6 microM), mepyramine (2.5 microM) or cimetidine (4.0 microM). 4. Ritodrine which is less potent than salbutamol in tissues with typical beta 2-adrenoceptors was found to be 8 times more potent than salbutamol in the rabbit jejunum. 5. It is suggested that in the rabbit jejunum ritodrine and salbutamol may act at an atypical beta-adrenoceptor, at which propranolol is a competitive but not very potent antagonist.
