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

Brown Norway (BN) rats have a relatively specific deficit in CO2 sensitivity. This deficit could be due to an abnormally weak carotid body contribution to CO2 sensitivity. Accordingly, we tested the hypothesis that CBD would have less of an effect on eupnoeic breathing and CO2 sensitivity in the BN rats compared to other rat strains.We measured ventilation and blood gases at rest (eupnoea) and during hypoxia (FIO2 =0.12) or hypercapnia (FICO2 =0.07) before and up to 23 days after bilateral or Sham CBD in BN, Sprague–Dawley (SD) and Dahl Salt-Sensitive (SS) rats. In all three rat strains, CBD elicited eupnoeic hypoventilation (PaCO2 +8.7–11.0 mmHg) 1–2 days post-CBD (P <0.05), and attenuated ventilatory responses to hypoxia (P <0.05) and venous sodium cyanide (NaCN; P<0.05), while sham CBD had no effect on resting breathing, blood gases or chemoreflexes (P >0.05). In contrast, CBD had no effect on CO2 sensitivity (˙VE/PaCO2) in all strains (P>0.05). Eupnoeic PaCO2 returned to pre-CBD values within 15–23 days post-CBD. Thus, the effects of CBD in rats (1) further support an important role for the carotid bodies in eupnoeic blood gas regulation, (2) suggest that the carotid bodies are not a major determinant of CO2 sensitivity in rats, and (3) may not support the concept of an interaction among the peripheral and central chemoreceptors in rats.
