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

Calcium currents were recorded in contracting and actively shortening mammalian muscle fibers. In order to characterize the influence of extracellular calcium concentration changes in the small unstirred lumina of the transverse tubular system (TTS) on the time course of the slow L-type calcium current (I(Ca)), we have combined experimental measurements of I(Ca) with quantitative numerical simulations of Ca2+ depletion. I(Ca) was recorded both in calcium-buffered and unbuffered external solutions using the two-microelectrode voltage clamp technique (2-MVC) on short murine toe muscle fibers. A simulation program based on a distributed TTS model was used to calculate the effect of ion depletion in the TTS. The experimental data obtained in a solution where ion depletion is suppressed by a high amount of a calcium buffering agent were used as input data for the simulation. The simulation output was then compared with experimental data from the same fiber obtained in unbuffered solution. Taking this approach, we could quantitatively show that the calculated Ca2+ depletion in the transverse tubular system of contracting mammalian muscle fibers significantly affects the time-dependent decline of Ca2+ currents. From our findings, we conclude that ion depletion in the tubular system may be one of the major effects for the I(Ca) decline measured in isotonic physiological solution under voltage clamp conditions.
