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. The expression of ClC-3 was examined in rat lacrimal gland and submandibular salivary gland cells using RT-PCR and Western analysis. Whole-cell patch clamp methods were used to investigate the expression of volume-sensitive anion channels in acinar cells isolated from these tissues. 2. Expression of mRNA encoding ClC-3, and ClC-3 protein, was found in rat submandibular gland by RT-PCR and Western analysis. Rat lacrimal gland cells, however, did not appear to express mRNA encoding for ClC-3, nor the ClC-3 protein. 3. Volume-sensitive anion conductances were observed in both rat lacrimal gland and submandibular salivary gland acinar cells. The conductance was of a similar size in the two cell types, but was much slower to activate in the lacrimal cells. 4. The properties of the conductances in lacrimal and submandibular cells were similar, e.g. halide selectivity sequence (P(I) > P(Cl) > P(aspartate)) and inhibition by 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid, 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoate and tamoxifen. 5. The data suggest that the expression of ClC-3 is not an absolute requirement for the activity of volume-sensitive anion channels in rat lacrimal gland acinar cells.
