Opposite modulation of noradrenaline and ATP release in guinea-pig vas deferens through prejunctional beta-adrenoceptors: evidence for the beta 2 subtype.

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.
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
Activation of prejunctional beta-adrenoceptors has been suggested to increase the release of noradrenaline but to decrease the neural release of ATP in the guinea-pig vas deferens. Experiments were carried out to determine the subtype of beta-adrenoceptor involved. In [3H]-noradrenaline-preincubated tissues superfused with medium containing prazosin and suramin, isoprenaline (1-100 nM), salbutamol (0.01-1 microM) and terbutaline (0.1-10 microM) increased the overflow of tritium but reduced the overflow of ATP elicited by electrical stimulation (210 pulses/7 Hz). The effects of isoprenaline were blocked by the beta 2-selective antagonist 1-[2,3-(dihydro-7-methyl-1H-inden-4-yl)oxy]-3- [(1-methylethyl)amino]-2-butanol (ICI 118,551; 100 nM). In prazosin- and suramin-free medium, isoprenaline (100 nM) did not change the overflow of ATP elicited by exogenous noradrenaline (10 microM). Isoprenaline (1-100 nM), salbutamol (0.01-1 microM) and terbutaline (0.1-10 microM) reduced the initial twitch contraction elicited by electrical stimulation (210 pulses/7 Hz) in prazosin- and suramin-free medium as well as the isolated purinergic neurogenic contraction obtained by exposure to prazosin. They increased or tended to increase the secondary sustained concentration elicited by electrical stimulation in prazosin- and suramin-free medium as well as the isolated adrenergic neurogenic contraction obtained in the presence of suramin. The inhibition by isoprenaline of the isolated purinergic contraction was attenuated by ICI 118,551 (100 nM) but not by the beta 1-selective antagonist 1-[2-((3-carbamoyl- 4-hydroxy)phenoxy)ethylamino]-3-[4-(1-methyl-4- trifluoromethyl-2-imidazolyl)phenoxy]-2-propanol (CGP 20712A; 100 nM). The results confirm the opposite beta-adrenoceptor-mediated modulation of noradrenaline and neural ATP release in the guinea-pig vas deferens. They show that the prejunctional beta-adrenoceptor is of the beta 2-subtype.
