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. L-type Ca2+ channel currents (I(Ca)) were measured in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes (22 degrees C, 300 ms steps from -45 to +10 mV). Pulsing at 0.5 Hz reduced I(Ca) within 5 min to 92 +/- 3% (mean +/- S.E.M., n = 14) and within 10 min to 83 +/- 4 % ('run-down' with reference to I(Ca) after a 5 min equilibration period). 2. Bath-applied cytochalasin D (cytD, 10 microM) reduced I(Ca) to 75 +/- 4% within 5 min and to 61 +/- 4% within 10 min ('cytD reduction of I(Ca)') by reduction of maximal Ca2+ conductance (suggested by fits of time course and of current-potential (I-V) curves). 3. Preincubation with phalloidin (bath applied, 100 microM, 5 h) prevented the cytD reduction of I(Ca). Since phalloidin specifically blocks F-actin depolymerization, cytD reduction of I(Ca) is linked to depolymerization of F-actin. 4. CytD did not attenuate the beta-adrenergic stimulation of I(Ca) (30 nM isoproterenol), suggesting that A kinase anchoring proteins are unlikely to mediate the cytD reduction of I(Ca). The cytD reduction of I(Ca) was abolished by extra-/intracellular acidosis (pH(o) 6.9), by cell dialysis of 5 mM BAPTA, or by serine/threonine protein phosphatase inhibitors. 5. Actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF)/cofilin are proteins that bind to actin, mediate a pH-sensitive depolymerization of F-actin, and are activated by dephosphorylation. Western blots from hearts perfused with solutions containing zero or 10 microM cytD indicated that cytD reduces the ratio of phosphorylated to total ADF/cofilin content by 50%. 6. The data support the concept that cytD mediates dephosphorylation and activation of ADF/cofilin, leading to depolymerization of F-actin with a subsequent reduction of I(Ca).
