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. Rat adrenal medulla is stimulated by cholinergic and peptidergic transmitters released from splanchnic nerves. The peptidergic transmitter has been identified as vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and its contribution in comparison to that of acetylcholine (ACh) is more prominent at low neuronal activity. The purpose of this study is to determine if ACh and VIP cause differential secretion of adrenaline and noradrenaline and whether the differential secretion also occurs when splanchnic nerves are stimulated at different frequencies. 2. Perfusion of the left adrenal gland with Krebs solution for several hours did not change adrenaline and noradrenaline contents (15.2 micrograms and 3.5 micrograms, respectively) and their ratio (4.4) from those of the unperfused right adrenal medulla (15.2 micrograms, 3.3 micrograms and 4.8, respectively). 3. Perfusion with ACh (10 microM for 4 min) resulted in the secretion of 109 ng of catecholamines and the ratio of adrenaline to noradrenaline was 3.8. Although the secretion increased with increased concentrations of ACh (30 and 100 microM), the ratios remained between 3 and 4. 4. Perfusion with VIP (10 microM for 4 min) resulted in the secretion of 27 ng of catecholamines and the ratio of adrenaline to noradrenaline was 9.7. A higher concentration of VIP (20 microM for 4 min) resulted in the secretion of greater amounts of catecholamines (102 ng) without significantly altering the ratio of adrenaline to noradrenaline (10.9). 5. Perfusion with as low as 0.01 microM pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) increased the secretion of catecholamines to 31 ng and the secretion increased in a dose-dependent manner up to 0.3 microM.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
