NANC neurotransmission in lamina propria of the rabbit urethra: regulation by different subsets of calcium channels.
Article in British journal of pharmacology, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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. Electrical field stimulation (EFS) of the rabbit urethral lamina propria elicited a frequency-dependent non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic (NANC) relaxation, which was abolished by N omega-nitro-L-arginine (L-NOARG). 2. omega-Conotoxin GVIA, a selective blocker of N-type voltage-operated calcium channels (VOCCs), and omega-conotoxin MVIIC (blocker of N- and Q-type VOCCs) inhibited the NANC relaxation, and the inhibition was inversely related to the frequency of stimulation. Combined, the two toxins were more effective than omega-contoxin GVIA alone. 3. The relaxation induced by the nitric oxide (NO) donor, 3-morpholino-sydnonimine (SIN-1) was not affected by omega-conotoxin MVIIC. 4. omega-Agatoxin IVA (blocker of P-type VOCCs) did not attenuate the NANC relaxation. 5. Reduction of the calcium concentration from 1.5 to 0.5 mM reduced the NANC relaxation at low but not at high frequencies of stimulation; the relaxation induced by SIN-1 was not affected. 6. EFS (20 Hz, 30 s) increased the cyclic GMP level 3 fold in normal Krebs solutions, but was unable to enhance significantly the cyclic GMP level after calcium omission. L-NOARG reduced the cyclic GMP content in 'calcium-free' medium, indicating an ongoing NO synthesis that was independent of extracellular calcium. 7. Caffeine, ryanodine and thapsigargin (inhibitors of sarcoplasmic calcium release), and CGP 37157 (inhibitor of mitochondrial sodium/calcium exchange) had no effect on the NANC relaxation. 8. It is suggested that nitrergic nerve activation in the rabbit urethral lamina propria is mediated in partby N-type (omega-conotoxin GVIA-sensitive) and in part by Q-type (omega-conotoxin MVIIC-sensitive) VOCCs.With high frequences of stimulation, another mechanism, possibly calcium-independent, appears to become operational.
