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 interaction between histamine, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and noradrenaline was studied with the perforated-patch technique in single cells isolated from the rabbit pulmonary artery. In these cells all of the agents activated caffeine-sensitive currents. In potassium-free conditions at a holding potential of -50 mV bath applied histamine, in concentrations that did not produce a response, greatly enhanced the magnitude of inward currents evoked by ionophoretic application of noradrenaline. These inward currents were calcium-activated chloride currents, ICl(Ca). In potassium-containing solutions at a holding potential of 0 mV, bath applied histamine potentiated the outward currents (calcium-activated potassium currents (IK(Ca)) induced by noradrenaline. This synergistic action was rapid in onset, sustained during the continued presence of histamine and reversible. Bath application of noradrenaline inhibited the response to ionophoretically applied noradrenaline but not the caffeine-induced currents. ATP also stimulated ICl(Ca) and IK(Ca) through a mechanism dependent on the caffeine-sensitive intracellular calcium store and also potentiated the currents activated by noradrenaline. It is concluded that one explanation for the phenomenon of potentiation in smooth muscle is convergence of several distinct pharmacological receptors to a common cellular mechanism.
