Can the Ca2+ hypothesis and the Ca2+-voltage hypothesis for neurotransmitter release be reconciled?
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
It is well established that Ca2+ plays a key role in promoting the physiological depolarization-induced release (DIR) of neurotransmitters from nerve terminals (Ca2+ hypothesis). Yet, evidence has accumulated for the Ca2+-voltage hypothesis, which states that not only is Ca2+ required, but membrane potential as such also plays a pivotal role in promoting DIR. An essential aspect of the Ca2+-voltage hypothesis is that it is depolarization that is responsible for the initiation of release. This assertion seems to be contradicted by recent experiments wherein release was triggered by high concentrations of intracellular Ca2+ in the absence of depolarization [calcium-induced release (CIR)]. Here we show that there is no contradiction between CIR and the Ca2+-voltage hypothesis. Rather, CIR can be looked at as a manifestation of spontaneous release under conditions of high intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Spontaneous release in turn is governed by a subset of the molecular scheme for DIR, under conditions of no depolarization. Prevailing estimates for the intracellular calcium concentration, [Ca2+]i, in physiological DIR rely on experiments under conditions of CIR. Our theory suggests that these estimates are too high, because depolarization is absent in these experiments and [Ca2+]i is held at high levels for an extended period.
