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. It has been widely accepted that the rat aortic depressor nerve contains only baroreceptors. However, the experiments which have provided these negative data have employed whole aortic nerve recording. In the present study, the technical difficulties associated with recording single fibres in vivo, from the rat aortic nerve (diameter 25-50 microm), have been surmounted using a small tip, glass suction electrode technique. 2. Upon switching from normocapnic hyperoxia to hypercapnic hypoxia, irregularly firing units (n = 13) appeared and these were significantly excited by intravenous injections of sodium cyanide (20 microg) but not by rises in arterial blood pressure induced by methoxamine (an alpha1-adrenoreceptor agonist; 10 microg). Inhalation of 100 % oxygen rapidly and reversibly silenced, or profoundly reduced, ongoing activity. 3. Intravenous injection of phenylbiguanide (PBG; a 5-HT3 receptor agonist; 8 microg) strongly stimulated the chemoreceptors and was followed by a period of chemodepression (3-21 s). In contrast none of the single fibre baroreceptors recorded (n = 15) were excited by PBG but all significantly increased their discharge in response to the increases in arterial blood pressure associated with methoxamine and cyanide. Both the excitatory and inhibitory effects of PBG on the chemoreceptor fibres were abolished by ondansetron (a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist: 1 mg kg-1 i.v.; n = 5 animals) whilst the chemoexcitatory action of cyanide was preserved. 4. It is concluded that there are chemoreceptor afferents contained in the aortic nerve of the Sprague-Dawley rat. The 5-HT3 receptor appears not to be a pre-requisite for aortic body chemoexcitation.
