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

The antispasmogenic and spasmolytic effects of the calcium entry blocker verapamil were examined on histamine-induced guinea pig tracheal contraction in vitro in comparison with the beta 2-adrenergic agonist salbutamol. The effects of verapamil were found to be about 1000 times weaker than those of salbutamol. The antispasmogenic IC50 for verapamil was 1.99 x 10(-4) M compared to 7.94 x 10(-8) M for salbutamol. The spasmolytic EC50 for verapamil was 3.37 x 10(-5) M and for salbutamol was 1.95 x 10(-8) M. The combined application of verapamil and salbutamol resulted in additive antispasmogenic and spasmolytic effects.
