Species-related differences in the capsaicin-sensitive innervation of the rat and guinea-pig ureter.

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.
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. Comparison of the tissue content of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-immunoreactivity (IR) and tachykinin (TK)-IR in the rat and guinea-pig ureter showed that in the rat tissue levels of CGRP-IR were 33-fold higher than those of TK-IR. In the guinea-pig ureter, both peptides were present in nearly the same concentration. 2. The in-vitro release of neuropeptides from guinea-pig and rat ureters was investigated using capsaicin as a stimulus for afferent neurons. Capsaicin induced the simultaneous release of CGRP-IR and TK-IR from the guinea-pig ureter while in the rat only the release of CGRP-IR was detectable. 3. It is known that TK potently stimulate and CGRP inhibits ureteric smooth muscle contractions. When the effect of capsaicin on ureteric motility was investigated in guinea-pig and rat, only in the guinea-pig ureter a stimulatory action ascribable to capsaicin-induced TK release was observed thus supplementing the results obtained by radioimmunoassay. 4. The results show that considerable species differences exist concerning the ratio of CGRP and TK which is stored and released from ureteric afferent nerve terminals. As a consequence, different functional responses are obtained in both species upon stimulation of these neurons by capsaicin. In the rat ureter, the capsaicin-sensitive innervation seems to be only inhibitory while in the guinea-pig stimulatory and inhibitory transmitters are released. The physiological significance of the simultaneous release of transmitters with opposing effects needs further investigation.
