Interaction between the pulmonary stretch receptor and pontine control of expiratory duration.

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
Medial parabrachial nucleus (mPBN) neuronal activity plays a key role in controlling expiratory (E)-duration (TE). Pulmonary stretch receptor (PSR) activity during the E-phase prolongs TE. The aims of this study were to characterize the interaction between the PSR and mPBN control of TE and underlying mechanisms. Decerebrated mechanically ventilated dogs were studied. The mPBN subregion was activated by electrical stimulation via bipolar microelectrode. PSR afferents were activated by low-level currents applied to the transected central vagus nerve. Both stimulus-frequency patterns during the E-phase were synchronized to the phrenic neurogram; TE was measured. A functional mathematical model for the control of TE and extracellular recordings from neurons in the preBötzinger/Bötzinger complex (preBC/BC) were used to understand mechanisms. Findings show that the mPBN gain-modulates, via attenuation, the PSR-mediated reflex. The model suggested functional sites for attenuation and neuronal data suggested correlates. The PSR- and PB-inputs appear to interact on E-decrementing neurons, which synaptically inhibit pre-I neurons, delaying the onset of the next I-phase.
