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

Fluorescent Ca2+ probes and digital photo-sectioning techniques were used to directly study the dynamics of Ca2+ in isolated mast cell granules of normal (CB/J) and beige (Bg(j)/Bg(j)) mice. The resting intraluminal free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]L) is 25 +/- 4.2 microM (mean +/- SD, n = 68). Exposure to 3 microM inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) induced periodic oscillations of luminal Ca2+ ([Ca2+]L) of approximately 10 microM amplitude and a period around 8-10 s. The [Ca2+]L oscillations were accompanied by a corresponding oscillatory release of [Ca2+]L to the extraluminal space. Control experiments using ruthenium red (2 microM) and thapsigargin (100 nM) ruled out artifacts derived from the eventual presence of mitochondria or endoplasmic reticulum in the isolated granule preparation. Oscillations of [Ca2+]L and Ca2+ release result from a Ca2+/K+ exchange process whereby bound Ca is displaced from the heparin polyanionic matrix by inflow of K+ into the granular lumen via an apamin-sensitive Ca2+-sensitive K+ channel (ASK(Ca)), whereas Ca2+ release takes place via an InsP3-receptor-Ca2+ (InsP3-R) channel. These results are consistent with previous observations of [Ca2+]L oscillations and release in/from the endoplasmic reticulum and mucin granules, and suggest that a highly conserved common mechanism might be responsible for [Ca2+]L oscillations and quantal periodic Ca2+ release in/from intracellular Ca2+ storage compartments.
