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 electric organ cells of Sternopygus generate action potentials whose durations vary over a fourfold range. This variation in action potential duration is the basis for individual variation in a communication signal. Thus, action potential duration must be precisely regulated in these cells. We had observed previously that the inactivation kinetics of the electrocyte Na(+) current show systematic individual variation. In this study, using a two-electrode voltage clamp, we found that the voltage-dependent activation and deactivation kinetics of the delayed rectifying K(+) current in these cells covary in a graded and predictable manner across fish. Furthermore, when Na(+) and K(+) currents were recorded in the same cell, their voltage-dependent kinetics were highly correlated. This finding illustrates an unprecedented degree of coregulation of voltage-dependent properties in two molecularly distinct ionic channels. Such a coregulation of ionic channels is uniquely observable in a cell specialized to generate individual differences in electrical activity and in which the results of biophysical control mechanisms are evident in behaving animals. We propose that the precise coregulation of the voltage-dependent kinetics of multiple ionic currents may be a general mechanism for regulation of membrane excitability.
