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

Significant cardiorespiratory coordination is required to maintain physiological function in health and disease. Sensory neuronal "cross-talk" between the heart and the lungs is required for synchronous regulation of normal cardiopulmonary function and is most likely mediated by the convergence of sensory neural pathways present in the autonomic ganglia. Using neurotracer approaches with appropriate negative control experiments in a mouse model, presence of cardiorespiratory neurons in the vagal (nodose) ganglia are demonstrated. Furthermore, we found that convergent neurons represent nearly 50% of all cardiac neurons and approximately 35% of all respiratory neurons. The current findings demonstrate a pre-existing neuronal substrate linking cardiorespiratory neurotransmission in the vagal ganglia, and a potentially important link for cardiopulmonary cross-sensitization, which may play an important role in the observed manifestations of cardiopulmonary diseases.
