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

background5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-induced coronary artery responses have both vasoconstriction and vasorelaxation components. The vasoconstrictive effects of 5-HT have been well studied while the mechanism(s) of how 5-HT causes relaxation of coronary arteries has been less investigated. In isolated rat hearts, 5-HT-induced coronary flow increases are partially resistant to the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor Nω-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) and are blocked by 5-HT7 receptor antagonists. In the present study, we investigated the role of 5-HT7 receptor in 5-HT-induced coronary flow increases in isolated rat hearts in the absence of L-NAME, and we also evaluated the involvement of endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) in 5-HT-induced coronary flow increases in L-NAME-treated hearts with the inhibitors of arachidonic acid metabolism and the blockers of Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels.

resultsIn isolated rat hearts, 5-HT and the 5-HT7 receptor agonist 5-carboxamidotryptamine induced coronary flow increases, and both of these effects were blocked by the selective 5-HT7 receptor antagonist SB269970; in SB269970-treated hearts, 5-HT induced coronary flow decreases, which effect was blocked by the 5-HT2A receptor blocker R96544. In L-NAME-treated hearts, 5-HT-induced coronary flow increases were blocked by the phospholipase A2 inhibitor quinacrine and the cytochrome P450 inhibitor SKF525A, but were not inhibited by the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin. As to the effects of the Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel blockers, 5-HT-induced coronary flow increases in L-NAME-treated hearts were inhibited by TRAM-34 (intermediate-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel blocker) and UCL1684 (small-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel blocker), but effects of the large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel blockers on 5-HT-induced coronary flow increases were various: penitrem A and paxilline did not significantly affect 5-HT-induced coronary flow responses while tetraethylammonium suppressed the coronary flow increases elicited by 5-HT.

conclusionIn the present study, we found that 5-HT-induced coronary flow increases are mediated by the activation of 5-HT7 receptor in rat hearts in the absence of L-NAME. Metabolites of cytochrome P450s, small-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel, and intermediate-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel are involved in 5-HT-induced coronary flow increases in L-NAME-treated hearts, which resemble the mechanisms of EDHF-induced vasorelaxation. The role of large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel in 5-HT-induced coronary flow increases in L-NAME-treated hearts needs further investigation.
