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

We used a high-performance fluorescence imaging system to visualize rapid changes in intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) evoked by focal applications of extracellular ATP to the hair bundle of outer hair cells (OHCs): the sensory-motor receptors of the cochlea. Simultaneous recordings of the whole-cell current and Calcium Green-1 fluorescence showed a two-component increase in [Ca(2+)](i). After an initial entry of Ca(2+) through the apical membrane, a second and larger, inositol triphosphate (InsP(3))-gated, [Ca(2+)](i) surge occurred at the base of the hair bundle. Electron microscopy of this intracellular Ca(2+) release site showed that it coincides with the localization of a unique system of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes and mitochondria known as Hensen's body. Using confocal immunofluorescence microscopy, we showed that InsP(3) receptors share this location. Consistent with a Ca(2+)-mobilizing second messenger system linked to ATP-P2 receptors, we also determined that an isoform of G-proteins is present in the stereocilia. Voltage-driven cell shape changes and nonlinear capacitance were monitored before and after ATP application, showing that the ATP-evoked [Ca(2+)](i) rise did not interfere with the OHC electromotility mechanism. This second messenger signaling mechanism bypasses the Ca(2+)-clearance power of the stereocilia and transiently elevates [Ca(2+)](i) at the base of the hair bundle, where it can potentially modulate the action of unconventional myosin isozymes involved in maintaining the hair bundle integrity and potentially influence mechanotransduction.
