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. The effect of the calcitonin gene-related peptide antagonist (CGRP8-37, 400 nmol kg-1, i.v.) on the increased blood flow induced by calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP), vasodilator prostaglandins, and topical capsaicin was measured with a laser Doppler blood flow meter in rat abdominal skin. 2. The saphenous nerve was electrically stimulated and the effect of CGRP8-37 (400 nmol kg-1, i.v.) on the increased blood flow (measured by laser Doppler flowmetry) and oedema formation (measured by the extravascular accumulation of [125I]-albumin) was investigated in the rat hind paw. 3. CGRP8-37 (400 nmol kg-1, i.v.) had no effect on basal cutaneous blood flow at uninjected sites and sites injected with Tyrode buffer, but acted selectively to inhibit the increased blood flow induced by intradermal CGRP (10 pmol/site, P < 0.05), but not that induced by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2, 300 pmol/site) or carba-prostacyclin (cPGI2, 100 pmol/site). 4. Capsaicin (0.1-33 mM), applied topically, acted in a dose-related manner to increase blood flow. CGRP8-37 (400 nmol kg-1, i.v.) almost totally inhibited blood flow induced by capsaicin (10 mM; P < 0.05) but did not significantly inhibit blood flow induced by a higher dose of capsaicin (33 mM). 5. The increased blood flow induced by short stimulation of the saphenous nerve (10 V, 1 ms, 2 Hz for 30 s) was inhibited by 76%, 5 min after i.v. CGRP8-37 (400 nmol kg-1, i.v., P < 0.05). 6. A longer (5 min) electrical stimulation of the saphenous nerve caused oedema formation, in addition to increased blood flow. The oedema formation was significantly inhibited by CGRP8-37 (400 nmol kg-1,i.v., P<0.05).7. The results suggest that the potent microvascular vasodilator neuropeptide, CGRP, is responsible for the increased blood flow observed after short stimulation of the saphenous nerve and that endogenous CGRP contributes in a pro-inflammatory manner to neurogenic oedema formation in the rat hind paw.
