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

backgroundExtracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) plays important mechanistic roles in pulmonary disorders in general and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cough in particular. The effects of ATP in the lungs are mediated to a large extent by P2X2/3 receptors (P2X2/3R) localized on vagal sensory nerve terminals (both C and Aδ fibers). The activation of these receptors by ATP triggers a pulmonary-pulmonary central reflex, which results in bronchoconstriction and cough, and is also proinflammatory due to the release of neuropeptides from these nerve terminals

methodsExperiments using receptor-binding functional assays, rat nodose ganglionic cells, perfused innervated guinea pig lung preparation

resultsDT-0111 acted as a selective and effective antagonist at P2X2/3R, that is, it did not activate or block P2YR; markedly inhibited the activation by ATP of nodose pulmonary vagal afferents

conclusionsThese results indicate that DT-0111 is an attractive drug-candidate for the treatment of COPD and chronic cough, both of which still constitute major unmet clinical needs.
