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. The effect of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) when given with or as a pretreatment to oedema inducing agents was investigated in the skin and paws of male Wistar and Sprague Dawley rats. 2. Oedema formation at intradermally-injected sites in the skin was measured by a 125I-labelled human serum albumin accumulation technique and paw oedema was measured by a weight displacement technique. 3. CGRP (30 pmol) when given with, or as a 20 min pretreatment, markedly potentiated oedema formation induced by substance P (100 pmol) in rat skin. In comparison, CGRP had little effect on 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, 0.1-3 nmol)-induced oedema when given as a co-injection but significantly potentiated 5-HT-induced oedema when given as a 20 min pretreatment in the skin. Similar results were obtained in both Wistar and Sprague Dawley rats. 4. Pretreatment with CGRP (30 pmol) had little modulatory effect on oedema induced by substance P (100 pmol) in the presence of the vasodilator prostanoid, prostaglandin E1 (PGE1, 850 pmol) in the skin of Wistar rats. 5. Pretreatment with CGRP (30 pmol) caused a non-significant increase in carrageenin (300 micrograms)-induced oedema in the hind paw of Wistar rats. Capsaicin (100 nmol) given as a pretreatment had little effect on carrageenin-induced oedema. 6. CGRP (30 pmol), given as a pretreatment, had little modulatory effect on 5-HT (3 nmol)-induced oedema in the paw of Wistar rats but a non-significant decrease in paw oedema was observed in Sprague Dawley rats. 7. The results suggest that CGRP, either given together with .or as a pretreatment to mediators of increased microvascular permeability, depending on circumstance, can act in a synergistic manner to increase oedema formation. Little evidence was obtained for an anti-inflammatory effect of CGRP in either the rat skin or paw.
