Arginine vasopressin potentiates inspiratory bursting in hypoglossal motoneurons of neonatal mice.

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
Vasopressin (AVP) acts as a neurotransmitter and its activity can potentiate respiratory activity. Hypoglossal (XII) motoneurons that innervate the tongue express V1a vasopressin receptors, which are excitatory. Therefore, we hypothesized that V1a receptor activation at XII motoneurons would potentiate inspiratory bursting. We developed this study to determine whether AVP can potentiate inspiratory bursting in rhythmic medullary slice preparations in neonatal (postnatal, P0-5) mice. Bath or local application of AVP potentiated inspiratory bursting compared to baseline XII inspiratory burst amplitude. Antagonizing V1a receptors revealed significant attenuation of the AVP-mediated potentiation of inspiratory bursting, while antagonism of oxytocin receptors (at which AVP has similar binding affinity) revealed a trend to attenuate AVP-mediated potentiation of inspiratory bursting. Finally, we discovered that the AVP-mediated potentiation of inspiratory bursting increases significantly with postnatal maturation from P0-5. Overall, these data support that AVP potentiates inspiratory bursting directly at XII motoneurons.
