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

In 1968, the first reported microneurographic recordings of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in humans revealed the bursty behavior of efferent sympathetic nerve activity. The timing of bursts could be explained by baroreflex physiology, but the variability in size of each burst was left unexplained. On the basis of shorter latencies of larger bursts, Wallin's group [53] proposed the existence of variable supraspinal synaptic delays and/or options for recruitment of faster-conducting sympathetic neurons when bursts become stronger. These options represent features of recruitable neural systems. Based on the highly variable latencies of single axons whose firing patterns could not explain reflexive increases in burst size, the concept of a latent subpopulation of sympathetic axons was speculated to exist. Using evidence from experimental preparations in anesthetized smaller animals, to recent signal processing of multi-fiber recordings in humans, this brief review will discuss the attempts to discover and understand recruitment strategies within the peripheral sympathetic nervous system. The review focuses on new information from human recordings supporting the idea that rate coding, population coding (recruitment), and temporal coding are options available within the peripheral sympathetic nervous system to adjust efferent sympathetic outflow. Although data are limited, possible clinical applications are discussed.
