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

Capsaicin (CAP) excites small sensory neurons, causing pain, neurogenic inflammation, and other visceral reflexes. These effects have been proposed to be the result of CAP activation of a nonselective cation current. It is generally assumed that CAP binds to an extracellular domain of the membrane receptor. However, the exact binding site is not known because of the lipophilic nature of CAP. To determine whether the binding domain is extracellular or intracellular, we tested the effect of a synthetic water-soluble CAP analog, DA-5018.HCl, on current activation. CAP activated the 45 pS (at -60 mV) nonselective cation channel from either side of the membrane. However, DA-5018.HCl, which had a greater potency and efficacy than CAP, activated the channels only from the cytosolic side of the patch membrane in a capsazepine, a CAP receptor antagonist, reversible manner. When applied extracellularly, DA-5018. HCl did not, but CAP did, activate whole-cell currents in sensory neurons, as well as in oocytes expressing vanilloid receptor 1, a recently cloned CAP receptor. Hydrogen ions, reported as a possible endogenous activator of cation current, failed to elicit any current when acidic medium (pH 5.0-6.0) was applied intracellularly, indicating that H+ does not mediate the CAP effect. These results indicate that CAP and its analog bind to the cytosolic domain of the CAP receptor and suggest that an endogenous CAP-like substance other than H+ may be present in the cell.
