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

Two different families of Na+/Ca2+ exchangers, K+-independent NCX and K+-dependent NCKX, are known. Exploiting the outward K+ gradient, NCKX is able to extrude Ca2+ more efficiently than NCX, even when the Na+ gradient is reduced. The NCKX, which was originally thought to be limited to the retinal photoreceptor, was shown recently to be widely distributed in the brain. We investigated the contribution of Na+/Ca2+ exchange to Ca2+ clearance mechanisms in neurohypophysial (NHP) axon terminals, using patch-clamp and microfluorometry techniques. In the presence of internal K+, Ca2+ decay was significantly slowed by the removal of external Na+, indicative of the role of Na+/Ca2+ exchange. As internal [K+] was decreased, Ca2+ decay rate and its dependence on Na+ were greatly attenuated. In the absence of internal K+, Ca2+ decay rate was little affected by Na+ removal. Quantitative analysis using Ca2+ decay rate constant indicated that >60% of Ca2+ extrusion is mediated by Na+/Ca2+ exchange when peak [Ca2+] level is higher than 500 nm, and approximately 90% of Na+/Ca2+ exchange activity is K+ dependent. In situ hybridization confirmed the expression of NCKX2 transcripts in the supraoptic nucleus in which soma of NHP axon terminals are located. To our knowledge, this is the first report to show the significant role of K+-dependent Na+/Ca2+ exchange in neuronal cells other than photoreceptors. Considering that axon terminals are subject to an invasion by high-frequency Na+ spikes, which may lower Na+ gradients, the presence of NCKX may have a functional significance in intracellular Ca2+ regulation.
