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

Contractions, release of previously stored [3H]-noradrenaline (measured as overflow of total tritiated compounds) and release of ATP elicited by electrical field stimulation (210 pulses, 7 Hz) were studied in the superfused vas deferens of the guinea pig. Prazosin and suramin were used to suppress non-neural ATP release, and effects of bromoxidine and rauwolscine on the neural release thus isolated were examined. Electrical stimulation elicited reproducible contraction, tritium overflow and ATP overflow. Both prazosin (0.03-3 microM) and suramin (30-300 microM) reduced contractions as well as the evoked overflow of ATP. No visible contraction remained in 21 of 28 tissues exposed to prazosin 0.3 microM combined with suramin 300 microM. The evoked overflow of ATP under these conditions was about 17% of that observed in the absence of drugs. In the presence of prazosin 0.3 microM and suramin 300 microM, bromoxidine (0.01-1 microM) decreased and rauwolscine (0.1-10 microM) increased the evoked overflow of both tritium and ATP. Rauwolscine increased the evoked overflow of tritium to a significantly greater extent than the overflow of ATP. It is concluded that the overflow of ATP elicited by electrical (neural) stimulation in the presence of prazosin 0.3 microM and suramin 300 microM reflects purely neural release of ATP. This release of ATP, like the release of noradrenaline, is modulated through prejunctional alpha 2-adrenoceptors. The alpha 2-adrenoceptor modulation of the release of noradrenaline seems to be more marked than the modulation of the release of ATP.
