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. Isoprenaline (10(-9)-10(-5) M) relaxed rat isolated mesenteric resistance arteries pre-contracted with K+ (30-60 mM) (p EC50 (M) 8.03 +/- 0.40; maximum relaxation 66.79 +/- 2.43%, n = 7). This relaxation was partially attenuated by the nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor N omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 10(-4) M). 2. The beta 2-adrenoceptor agonist, salbutamol (10(-9)-10(-5) M), produced a modest maximum relaxation (35.93 +/- 2.93%), which was not sensitive to L-NAME. 3. The beta 1-adrenoceptor agonist, dobutamine (10(-9)-10(-5) M), relaxed arteries precontracted with K+. This relaxation was abolished by L-NAME (10(-4) M) and also by propranolol (10(-6) M), but not affected by D-NAME (10(-4) M). The inhibition by L-NAME was partially reversed by L-arginine (10(-3) M). Removal of the endothelium severely attenuated relaxation to dobutamine. 4. Contractile responses to depolarizing K+ solutions were enhanced by the addition of L-NAME, and also by removal of the endothelium. 5. The above findings demonstrate that beta 1-adrenoceptor causes relaxation via NO release from the endothelium of rat mesenteric resistance arteries. In addition, contraction to K+ is modified by release of NO from the endothelium, possibly in response to tension development.
