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

backgroundSince antidopaminergic drugs are pharmacological agents employed in the management of gastrointestinal motor disorders at all ages, we investigated whether the enteric dopaminergic system may undergo developmental changes after birth.

methodsIntestinal mechanical activity was examined in vitro as changes in isometric tension.

resultsIn 2-d-old (P2) mice, dopamine induced a contractile effect, decreasing in intensity with age, replaced, at the weaning (day 20), by a relaxant response. Both responses were tetrodotoxin (TTX)-insensitive. In P2, dopaminergic contraction was inhibited by D1-like receptor antagonist and mimicked by D1-like receptor agonist. In 90-d-old (P90) mice, the relaxation was reduced by both D1- and D2-like receptor antagonists, and mimicked by D1- and D2-like receptor agonists. In P2, contraction was antagonized by phospholipase C inhibitor, while in P90 relaxation was antagonized by adenylyl cyclase inhibitor and potentiated by phospholipase C inhibitor. The presence of dopamine receptors was assessed by immunofluorescence. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) revealed a significant increase in D1, D2, and D3 receptor expression in proximal intestine with the age.

conclusionIn mouse small intestine, the response to dopamine undergoes developmental changes shifting from contraction to relaxation at weaning, as the consequence of D2-like receptor recruitment and increased expression of D1 receptors.
