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 regulation of organelle free Ca2+ was analysed in individual mouse pancreatic beta-cells loaded with the fluorescent low-affinity indicator furaptra. Removal of the cytoplasmic indicator by controlled digitonin permeabilization of the plasma membrane resulted in a sudden increase of the 340 nm/380 nm fluorescence excitation ratio followed by a gradual decay, reflecting the emptying of Ca2+ from organelle pools. Subsequent introduction of 3 mM ATP caused rapid refilling of a Ca2+ pool, which represented the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in being mobilized with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin. The concentration of Ca2+ in the ER observed immediately after permeabilization depended on the glucose concentration in a hyperbolic fashion with half-maximal filling at about 6 mM of the sugar. Glucose promotion of Ca2+ sequestration in the ER involved a high-affinity mechanism not requiring but accelerated by a rise of the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration. Glucose also exerted a long-term action on the ER storage of Ca2+, maintaining the set-point for its maximal concentration and preserving the response to IP3. The results indicate that the ER has an important role in the glucose-stimulated beta-cell by serving as a high-affinity sink for Ca2+, irrespective of the prevailing concentration of cytoplasmic Ca2+.
