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. Proton and electron currents in human eosinophils were studied using the permeabilized-patch voltage-clamp technique, with an applied NH4+ gradient to control pH(i). 2. Voltage-gated proton channels in unstimulated human eosinophils studied with the permeabilized-patch approach had properties similar to those reported in whole-cell studies. 3. Superoxide anion (O2-) release assessed by cytochrome c reduction was compared in human eosinophils and neutrophils stimulated by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). PMA-stimulated O2 release was more transient and the maximum rate was three times greater in eosinophils. 4. In PMA-activated eosinophils, the H+ current amplitude (I(H)) at +60 mV increased 4.7-fold, activation was 4.0 times faster, deactivation (tail current decay) was 5.4 times slower, the H+ conductance-voltage (g(H)-V) relationship was shifted -43 mV, and diphenylene iodinium (DPI)-inhibitable inward current reflecting electron flow through NADPH oxidase was activated. The data reveal that PMA activates the H+ efflux during the respiratory burst by modulating the properties of H+ channels, not simply as a result of NADPH oxidase activity. 5. The electrophysiological response of eosinophils to PMA resembled that reported in human neutrophils, but PMA activated larger proton and electron currents in eosinophils and the response was more transient. 6. ZnCl2 slowed the activation of H+ currents and shifted the g(H)-V relationship to more positive voltages. These effects occurred at similar ZnCl2 concentrations in eosinophils before and after PMA stimulation. These data are compatible with the existence of a single type of H+ channel in eosinophils that is modulated during the respiratory burst.
