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 modulation of [3H]ACh release by nicotinic compounds was studied in superfused rat hippocampal synaptosomes loaded with [3H]choline, (-)-Nicotine (0.1-10 microM) evoked a dose-dependent increase in [3H]ACh release; higher concentrations were less effective. Nicotine-evoked release was Ca(2+)-dependent, and blocked by the nicotinic antagonists dihydro-beta-erythroidine, mecamylamine, and pempidine. The alpha 7-selective antagonist methyllycaconitine did not inhibit nicotine-evoked release when tested at 1 microM, although at 10 microM some attenuation of the response was observed. Six agonists tested were equally efficacious in stimulating [3H]ACh release, as judged by the maximum responses, and gave the following EC50 values: (+/-)-epibatidine 0.12 microM; (+)-anatoxin-a 0.14 microM; (-)-nicotine 0.99 microM; (-)-cytisine 1.06 microM; ABT-418 2.6 microM; isoarecolone 43 microM. Each agonist generated a "bell-shaped" dose response curve, suggesting desensitisation at higher concentrations. This is supported by analysis of repetitive stimulation with (-)-nicotine and (-)-cytisine: S2/S1 ratios declined sharply with increasing concentration, whereas subsequent KC1-evoked release remained constant. These results are discussed in terms of possible nicotinic receptor subtypes that might be present on hippocampal nerve terminals.
