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

The sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) to brown adipose tissue (BAT) regulates BAT thermogenesis to defend body temperature in cold environments or to produce fever during immune responses. The vagus nerve contains afferents that inhibit the BAT SNA and BAT thermogenesis evoked by skin cooling. We sought to determine whether activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channels in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), which are prominently expressed in unmyelinated vagal afferents, would affect cold-evoked BAT thermogenesis, cardiovascular parameters, or their vagal afferent-evoked responses. In urethane-chloralose-anesthetized rats, during skin cooling, nanoinjection of the TRPV1-agonist resiniferatoxin in NTS decreased BAT SNA (from 695 ± 195% of baseline during cooling to 103 ± 8% of baseline after resiniferatoxin), BAT temperature (-0.8 ± 0.1°C), expired CO
