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

It is not known whether VIP coexists with other neuropeptides or neurotransmitters in the heart. In the present study, the distribution of nerve fibers showing VIP-like immunoreactivity (VIP-LI) in various parts of the bovine heart was compared with that of fibers possessing neuropeptide Y (NPY)- and dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH)-LI. It was found that fibers showing VIP-LI most regularly occurred in the regions of sinuatrial and atrioventricular nodes and intracardiac ganglia, the nerve fibers being associated with nodal and ganglionic cells and arterial walls. Furthermore, it was observed that almost all fibers showing VIP-LI also exhibited NPY-LI. The fibers displaying VIP-LI occurred close to fibers endowed with DBH-LI, and on some occasions it appeared that varicosities showing immunolabeling for VIP also displayed DBH-LI. VIP- and NPY-LI, but not DBH-LI, was detected in some of the intracardiac ganglionic cells. The observations are discussed in relation to the previously known distribution and function of VIP in the heart and other organs. Further studies examining the effects of VIP and NPY in the heart should take into account possible interactions between these two peptides.
