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

Endothelin receptors with endothelin-A (ETa) specificity were present in neonatal rat ventricle. However, in both receptor-binding studies and studies of inositol phosphate accumulation, these receptors had lower affinity for endothelin-1 than ETa receptors on isolated neonatal cardiomyocytes or adult left atria. Receptors in the three myocardial preparations were cross-linked to 125I-endothelin-1 and their molecular masses measured using SDS/PAGE. Receptors on left atria and neonatal cardiomyocytes had the expected molecular mass of 48 kDa, whereas the receptors in neonatal ventricle were smaller (38 kDa). Despite this, neonatal ventricles contained ETa receptor mRNA which was not different in size from that in the isolated cells (4.5 kb). Thus the 38 kDa ETa receptor present in neonatal ventricle appears to be transcribed from full-length ETa receptor mRNA and is possibly formed by processing of the 48 kDa receptor.
