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

An intriguing feature of several nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) on neurons is that their subunits contain a highly conserved cysteine residue located near the intracellular mouth of the receptor pore. The work summarized in this review indicates that α3β4-containing and α4β2-containing neuronal nAChRs, and possibly other subtypes, are inactivated by elevations in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). This review discusses a model for the molecular mechanisms that underlie this inactivation. In addition, we explore the implications of this mechanism in the context of complications that arise from diabetes. We review the evidence that diabetes elevates cytosolic ROS in sympathetic neurons and inactivates postsynaptic α3β4-containing nAChRs shortly after the onset of diabetes, leading to a depression of synaptic transmission in sympathetic ganglia, an impairment of sympathetic reflexes. These effects of ROS on nAChR function are due to the highly conserved Cys residues in the receptors: replacing the cysteine residues in α3 allow ganglionic transmission and sympathetic reflexes to function normally in diabetes. This example from diabetes suggests that other diseases involving oxidative stress, such as Parkinson's disease, could lead to the inactivation of nAChRs on neurons and disrupt cholinergic nicotinic signalling.
