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

1. Intracellular recordings were made from rat sympathetic neurones in isolated superior cervical ganglia (SCG), coeliac ganglia (CG) and superior mesenteric ganglia (SMG). 2. Based on their response to a maintained depolarizing current stimulus, neurones were classified as 'phasic' or 'tonic'. All neurones in the SCG were phasic, 85% of the neurones in the SMG and 58% of the neurones in the CG were tonic, and the remainder were phasic. 3. The voltage response of phasic and tonic neurones around threshold to a constant current step was markedly different. The response of phasic neurones was biphasic with an initial depolarizing response followed by significant repolarization of the membrane potential. In contrast, tonic neurones became more depolarized during a prolonged current step. 4. The underlying currents were studied using single-electrode voltage-clamp recording. The M-current was present in all phasic neurones, but was very weak or absent in tonic neurones. 5. An A-current was apparent in both phasic and tonic neurones. The voltage-dependent activation, steady- state inactivation, and current density of the A-current were all similar in phasic and tonic cells. 6. A low- threshold, slowly inactivating outward current (D2-current) was observed exclusively in tonic neurones. The slow inactivation of this current appeared to underlie the slow depolarizing ramp seen in response to a maintained depolarizing current step. 7. Computer simulations, based on the voltage-clamp data, suggested that the different firing properties of phasic and tonic neurones could be accounted for by differential expression of the M-current.
