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

1. Right adrenal and various cardiovascular responses to stimulation of the peripheral end of the right splanchnic nerve have been investigated in the presence and absence of exogenous adrenocorticotrophin, ACTH1-24, (5 ng min-1 kg-1). The adrenal-clamp technique was employed in conscious calves in which the pituitary stalk had been cauterized 3-4 days previously. 2. The I.V. infusion of ACTH1-24 increased mean plasma ACTH concentration by about 1200 pg/ml and mean right adrenal cortisol output by about 500 ng min-1 kg-1. Stimulation of the peripheral end of the right splanchnic nerve at 4 Hz for 10 min produced a further rise in cortisol output, amounting to about 400 ng min-1 kg-1 (P less than 0.01). These changes in output were reflected accurately by changes in peripheral plasma cortisol concentration. 3. Closely similar amounts of adrenaline were released in response to splanchnic nerve stimulation in the presence and absence of exogenous ACTH. In the presence of ACTH the average mean output of noradrenaline (58 +/- 2 ng min-1 kg-1) was significantly less than that of adrenaline (102 +/- 4 ng min-1 kg-1; P less than 0.001), whereas the corresponding values were not significantly different in the absence of ACTH. 4. These results also confirm the fact that the fall in adrenal vascular resistance which occurs during splanchnic nerve stimulation is substantially reduced by ACTH, as is the rise in met5-enkephalin output. 5. It is concluded that the splanchnic innervation is capable of enhancing the secretion of adrenal glucocorticoids in response to ACTH under physiological conditions in the conscious calf.
