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

Metabolic inhibition of sympathetic vasoconstriction (functional sympatholysis) is essential for adequate perfusion of skeletal muscle during exercise. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a neurotransmitter that elicits potent vasoconstriction and is co-released with noradrenaline during sympathoexcitation. NPY is released from sympathetic nerves during exercise; however, no study has assessed whether NPY-mediated vasoconstriction is sensitive to metabolic inhibition in humans. We tested the hypothesis that post-junctional NPY-mediated vasoconstriction would be sensitive to metabolic inhibition during handgrip exercise to a similar degree as α
