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 light response of fly photoreceptor cells is modulated by changes in free Ca(2+) concentration. Fly phototransduction and most processes regulating it take place in or very close to the rhabdomere. We therefore measured the kinetics and the absolute values of the free Ca(2+) concentration in the rhabdomere of fly photoreceptor cells in vivo by making use of the natural optics of the fly's eye. We show that Ca(2+) flowing into the rhabdomere after light stimulation of dark-adapted cells causes fast Ca(2+) transients that reach peak values higher than 200 microM in <20 msec. Approximately 500 msec later, the free Ca(2+) concentration has declined again to approximately 20 microM. The duration of the Ca(2+) transients becomes still shorter, and their size reduced, when the photoreceptor cell is light-adapted. This reduction in duration and size of the Ca(2+) transients is graded with the intensity of the adapting light. The kinetics and absolute values of the free calcium concentration found to occur in the rhabdomere are suitable to mediate the fast feedback signals known to act on the fly phototransduction cascade.
