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

Voltage-activated proton currents are reported for the first time in human peripheral blood T and B lymphocytes and in the human leukaemic T cell line Jurkat E6-1. The properties of H(+) currents studied using tight-seal voltage-clamp recording techniques were similar in all cells. Changing the pH gradient by one unit caused a 47 mV shift in the reversal potential, demonstrating high selectivity of the channels for protons. H(+) current activation upon membrane depolarisation had a sigmoidal time course that could be fitted by a single exponential function after a brief delay. Increasing pH(o) shifted the activation threshold to more negative potentials, and increased both the H(+) current amplitude and the rate of activation. In lymphocytes studied at pH(i) 6.0, the activation threshold was more negative and the H(+) current density was three times larger than at pH(i) 7.0. Increasing the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration to 1 microM did not change H(+) current amplitude or kinetics detectably. Extracellularly applied Zn(2+) and Cd(2+) inhibited proton currents, slowing activation and shifting the voltage-activation curve to more positive potentials. The H(+) current amplitude was 100 times larger in CD19+ B lymphocytes and in Jurkat E6-1 cells than in CD3+ T lymphocytes. Following stimulation with the phorbol ester PMA, the H(+) current density in peripheral blood T lymphocytes and Jurkat T cells increased. In contrast, the H(+) current density of phorbol ester (PMA)-stimulated B lymphocytes was reduced and activation became slower. The pattern of expression of H(+) channels in lymphocytes appears well suited to their proposed role of charge compensation during the respiratory burst.
