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 effects of various purinoceptor agonists on intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in swine tracheal smooth muscle cells in primary culture were examined to investigate the subtype of purinoceptors in these cells. 2. ATP (1 microM to 1 mM) concentration-dependently increased [Ca2+]i which was measured by monitoring the fluorescence signal of fura2. 3. alpha, beta-Me ATP at concentrations higher than 10 microM increased [ca2+]i in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. Responses to the drug were 12 +/- 5 and 61 +/- 4% of responses to ATP (100 microM) at 100 microM and 1 mM, respectively (n = 7). The response to 100 microM ATP was inhibited by 62% in the presence of 1 mM alpha, beta-Me ATP (n = 8), though the drug at concentrations lower than that did not affect the response to ATP. 4. ATP increased [Ca2+]i in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. The response to ATP in this condition was 40% of that in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ (n = 8). 5. Neither cibacron blue 3GA (10 microM) (n = 8) nor suramin (10 and 100 microM) (n = 10) affected the response to ATP (1 microM to 100 microM). 6. The rank order of potency in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ was UTP > ATP > adenosine 5'-o-(3-thiotriphosphate) > > ADP = alpha, beta-methylene adenosine 5'-triphosphate > 2-(methylthio)-adenosine 5'-(tetrahydrogen triphosphate). 7. UTP (1 microM to 100 microM) concentration-dependently increased inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) production. 8. These results suggest that the increase in [Ca2+]i induced by purinoceptor agonists is mediated mainly via a nucleotide receptor in swine tracheal smooth muscle cells in primary culture.
