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

Whole-cell patch clamp recordings were used to investigate the properties of a non-inactivating outward current observed in mouse cerebellar Purkinje neurones at a holding potential of -20 mV. Increasing the external potassium (K(+)) concentration from 3 mM to 20 mM produced a rightward shift in the observed reversal potential of approximately 30 mV or approximately 40 mV for a K(+)-or a caesium (Cs(+))-based intracellular solution respectively, indicating the outward current was a K(+) current. The outward current was partially inhibited by the K(+) channel blocker, tetraethylammonium (TEA; IC(50)=0.15 mM). Subsequently, the background or TEA-insensitive current was measured in the presence of 1 mM TEA. The background current was reversibly inhibited by barium (Ba(2+); 300 microM, 50%) and potentiated by the application of arachidonic acid (AA; 1 mM, 62%). The volatile anaesthetic, halothane (1 mM), and the neuroprotectant, riluzole (500 microM), both reversibly inhibited the background current by 54% and 36% respectively. The background current was insensitive to changes in both intracellular and extracellular acidification. The GABA(B) and mu-opioid receptor agonists, baclofen and [D-Ala(2), N-MePhe(4)-Gly-ol(5)] enkephalin (DAMGO) both reversibly potentiated the outward current by 42% and 26% respectively. In contrast, the metabotropic glutamate receptor and acetylcholine receptor agonists, (S)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) and muscarine both reversibly inhibited the outward current by 48% and 42% respectively. These data suggest that cerebellar Purkinje neurones possess a background current which shares several properties with recently cloned two-pore K(+) channels, particularly THIK-1.
