Sensory nerve-mediated relaxation of guinea-pig isolated pulmonary artery: prejunctional modulation by alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonists but not sumatriptan.
Article in British journal of pharmacology, 1993. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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. Effects of the alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonists, UK14304 and clonidine, the 5-HT1 receptor agonist, sumatriptan and the kappa-opioid receptor agonist, GR103545, on sensory neurotransmission in histamine-contracted guinea-pig isolated pulmonary artery (GPPA) have been studied. 2. Electrical field stimulation (EFS) induced frequency-dependent relaxations of histamine-contracted GPPA, which were attenuated by tetrodotoxin and capsaicin pretreatment but not by the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, N omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME). 3. Substance P (0.3 microM) induced relaxations which were subject to rapid tachyphylaxis. Neither the NK1 receptor antagonist, (+/-)-CP 96,345, nor desensitization to substance P had any effect of EFS-induced relaxations of histamine-contracted GPPA. 4. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP; 3 and 30 nM) induced concentration-dependent relaxations of histamine-contracted GPPA. The putative CGRP receptor antagonist, CGRP8-37 (1 microM), markedly attenuated EFS-induced relaxations as well as relaxations induced by a low concentration of CGRP. 5. Sumatriptan (0.1 and 1 microM) and the selective kappa-opioid receptor agonist, GR103545 (10 and 100 nM) had no effect on EFS-induced relaxations of histamine-contracted GPPA. In contrast, the alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonists UK14304 (1-100 nM) and clonidine (300 nM) attenuated responses to EFS, the attenuation of UK14304 (100 nM) being reversed by yohimbine (300 nM). 6. It is concluded that in GPPA, where a presynaptic inhibition of sensory neurotransmission by alpha 2-adrenoceptor activation could be shown, there was no evidence for such modulation by either sumatriptan-sensitive 5-HT1 receptors or kappa-opioid receptors.
