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

1. In skeletal muscle, dihydropyridine (DHP) receptors control both Ca(2+) entry (L-type current) and internal Ca(2+) release in a voltage-dependent manner. Here we investigated the question of whether elimination of the skeletal muscle-specific DHP receptor subunit gamma1 affects excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling. We studied intracellular Ca(2+) release and force production in muscle preparations of a mouse deficient in the gamma1 subunit (gamma-/-). 2. The rate of internal Ca(2+) release at large depolarization (+20 mV) was determined in voltage-clamped primary-cultured myotubes derived from satellite cells of adult mice by analysing fura-2 fluorescence signals and estimating the concentration of free and bound Ca(2+). On average, gamma-/- cells showed an increase in release of about one-third of the control value and no alterations in the time course. 3. Voltage of half-maximal activation (V(1/2)) and voltage sensitivity (k) were not significantly different in gamma-/- myotubes, either for internal Ca(2+) release activation or for the simultaneously measured L-type Ca(2+) conductance. The same was true for maximal Ca(2+) inward current and conductance. 4. Contractions evoked by electrical stimuli were recorded in isolated extensor digitorum longus (EDL; fast, glycolytic) and soleus (slow, oxidative) muscles under normal conditions and during fatigue induced by repetitive tetanic stimulation. Neither time course nor amplitudes of twitches and tetani nor force-frequency relations showed significant alterations in the gamma1-deficient muscles. 5. In conclusion, the overall results show that the gamma1 subunit is not essential for voltage-controlled Ca(2+) release and force production.
