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

A comparative study was carried out on the inactivation of Na+ channels in two types of endocrine cells in rats, beta-cells and adrenal chromaffin cells (ACCs), using patch-clamp techniques. The beta-cells were very sensitive to hyperpolarization; the Na+ currents increased ninefold when the holding potential was shifted from -70 mV to -120 mV. ACCs were not sensitive to hyperpolarization. The half-inactivation voltages were -90 mV (rat beta-cells) and -62 mV (ACCs). The time constant for recovery from inactivation at -70 mV was 10.5 times slower in beta-cells (60 ms) than in ACCs (5.7 ms). The rate of Na+-channel inactivation at physiological resting potential was more than three times slower in beta-cells than in ACCs. Na+ influx through Na+ channels had no effect on the secretory machinery in rat beta-cells. However, these 'silent Na+ channels' could contribute to the generation of action potentials in some conditions, such as when the cell is hyperpolarized. It is concluded that the fractional availability of Na+ channels in beta-cells at a holding potential of -70 mV is about 15 % of that in ACCs. This value in rat beta-cells is larger than that observed in mouse (0 %), but is smaller than those observed in human or dog (90 %).
