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

Ca2+-activated Cl- channels contribute to agonist-evoked contraction and spontaneous activity in some smooth muscle preparations. Patch pipette techniques were used to study the properties of single Ca2+-activated Cl- channels in freshly dispersed rabbit pulmonary artery myocytes. In the cell-attached recording mode, two conductance states of 3.5 and 1.8 pS were recorded either spontaneously or in response to increasing [Ca2+]i. With inside-out patches, the 3.5 pS channel current predominated at 50 nM [Ca2+]i, but at 500 nM [Ca2+]i most channels opened to the 1.8 pS level and an additional 1.2 pS channel conductance was resolved. At 1 microM [Ca2+]i all of the Cl- channels opened either to the 1.8 pS or 1.2 pS level. In 0 [Ca2+]i, no channel activity was observed at -100 mV to +100 mV, but with 10-250 nM [Ca2+]i the total single channel open probability (NP(o)) increased with depolarisation. This voltage dependence was not seen at higher values of [Ca2+]i. The plot of NPo vs. [Ca2+]i yielded Ca2+ affinity constants of 8 and 250 nM and Hill slopes of 1.3 and 2.3 at +100 and -100 mV, respectively. The distribution of open times was fitted by two exponentials of about 5 and 30 ms, which were neither voltage nor Ca2+ dependent. Replacement of external Cl- by I- shifted the reversal potential by about -30 mV and lengthened the longer of the two mean open times without significant effects on other kinetic parameters. Based on these data, a model for the activation of Ca2+-activated Cl- channels is proposed.
