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

In many types of muscle, intracellular Ca(2+) release for contraction consists of brief Ca(2+) sparks. Whether these result from the opening of one or many channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum is not known. Examining massive numbers of sparks from frog skeletal muscle and evaluating their Ca(2+) release current, we provide evidence that they are generated by multiple channels. A mode is demonstrated in the distribution of spark rise times in the presence of the channel activator caffeine. This finding contradicts expectations for single channels evolving reversibly, but not for channels in a group, which collectively could give rise to a stereotyped spark. The release channel agonists imperatoxin A, ryanodine, and bastadin 10 elicit fluorescence events that start with a spark, then decay to steady levels roughly proportional to the unitary conductances of 35%, 50%, and 100% that the agonists, respectively, promote in bilayer experiments. This correspondence indicates that the steady phase is produced by one open channel. Calculated Ca(2+) release current decays 10- to 20-fold from spark to steady phase, which requires that six or more channels be open during the spark.
