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

Somatosensory afferent transmission strength is controlled by several presynaptic mechanisms that reduce transmitter release at the spinal cord level. We focused this investigation on the role of α-adrenoceptors in modulating sensory transmission in low-threshold myelinated afferents and in pathways mediating primary afferent depolarization (PAD) of neonatal mouse spinal cord. We hypothesized that the activation of α-adrenoceptors depresses low threshold-evoked synaptic transmission and inhibits pathways mediating PAD. Extracellular field potentials (EFPs) recorded in the deep dorsal horn assessed adrenergic modulation of population monosynaptic transmission, while dorsal root potentials (DRPs) recorded at root entry zone assessed adrenergic modulation of PAD. We found that noradrenaline (NA) and the α
