Radioactive choline metabolism in guinea pig gallbladder. Is there measurable acetylcholine release?
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Acetylcholine may be released from gallbladder intrinsic nerves in response to cholecystokinin stimulation. This study characterized metabolites of [14C]choline produced in the gallbladder and released during incubation, with or without cholecystokinin-octapeptide. Radiolabeled [14C]choline was applied to the mucosal or muscle surface of intact guinea pig gallbladders in an organ bath. After radiolabeling, gallbladders were incubated with or without the contractile agonist cholecystokinin-octapeptide. Metabolites of [14C]choline were identified in gallbladder tissue and incubation buffers using HPLC and thin-layer chromatography. The major metabolites of [14C]choline were betaine and phosphocholine. [14C]Phosphocholine was incorporated slowly into [14C]phosphatidylcholine. [14C]Choline was released into buffers during incubation. [14C]Acetylcholine constituted less than 1% of radiolabel in the gallbladder. There was no identifiable [14C]acetylcholine released in buffers. Cholecystokinin-octapeptide did not affect choline metabolism. These studies showed that choline in the gallbladder is metabolized along pathways similar to those in the liver. Gallbladders released mostly choline, rather than acetylcholine, even during hormonally induced contraction.
