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. Using a semi-intact epithelial preparation we examined the Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (K(Ca)) currents of frog (Rana pipiens) saccular hair cells. After blocking voltage-dependent K(+) (K(V)) currents with 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) an outward current containing inactivating (I(transient)) and non-inactivating (I(steady)) components remained. 2. The contribution of each varied greatly from cell to cell, with I(transient) contributing from 14 to 90 % of the total outward current. Inactivation of I(transient) was rapid (tau approximately 2-3 ms) and occurred within the physiological range of membrane potentials (V(1/2) = -63 mV). Recovery from inactivation was also rapid (tau approximately 10 ms). 3. Suppression of both I(transient) and I(steady) by depolarizations that approached the Ca(2+) equilibrium potential and by treatments that blocked Ca(2+) influx (application Ca(2+)-free saline or Cd(2+)), suggest both are Ca(2+) dependent. Both were blocked by iberiotoxin, a specific blocker of large-conductance K(Ca) channels (BK), but not by apamin, a specific blocker of small-conductance K(Ca) channels. 4. Ensemble-variance analysis showed that I(transient) and I(steady) flow through two distinct populations of channels, both of which have a large single-channel conductance (~100 pS in non-symmetrical conditions). Together, these data indicate that both I(transient) and I(steady) are carried through BK channels, one of which undergoes rapid inactivation while the other does not. 5. Inactivation of I(transient) could be removed by extracellular papain and could later be restored by intracellular application of the 'ball' domain of the auxiliary subunit (beta2) thought to mediate BK channel inactivation in rat chromaffin cells. We hypothesize that I(transient) results from the association of a similar beta subunit with some of the BK channels and that papain removes inactivation by cleaving extracellular sites required for this association.
