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

Paraventricular nuclei (PVN) projections to the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM)/C1 catecholaminergic neuron group constitute the pre-autonomic sympathetic center involved in the neural control of systemic cardiovascular function. However, the role of extra-hypothalamic and thalamic dopaminergic (DA) inputs in this circuit remains underexplored. Using retrograde neuroanatomical tracing and high contrast confocal imaging methods, we investigated the projections and morphology of the discrete thalamic DA neuron groups in the dorsal hypothalamic area and their contribution to the PVN-RVLM neural circuit. We found that DA neuron subgroups in the Zona Incerta (Zi; 60%) and Reuniens thalamic nuclei (Re; 40%) were labeled comparably to the PVN (85%) after a retrograde tracer was injected into the RVLM/C1 (P < 0.01 mean ± SEM). The Re/Zi DA neuron subgroups were characterized by angulated cell bodies, superiomedial and inferiomedial projections reaching the contralateral Re/Zi and ipsilateral PVN DA neurons respectively. Ultimately, we deduced that the DA projections of the Re/Zi to the PVN contribute to the PVN-RVLM/C1 neural circuit. As a result of these connections, the Re/Zi DA neuron groups may regulate preautonomic sympathetic events associated with the PVN-RVLM pathway.
