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

aimTo investigate the effect of pinaverium bromide, a L-type calcium channel blocker with selectivity for the gastrointestinal tract on contractile activity of colonic circular smooth muscle in normal or cold-restraint stressed rats and its possible mechanism.

methodsCold-restraint stress was conducted on rats to increase fecal pellets output. Each isolated colonic circular muscle strip was suspended in a tissue chamber containing warm oxygenated Tyrode-Ringer solution. The contractile response to ACh or KCl was measured isometrically on ink-writing recorder. Incubated muscle in different concentrations of pinaverium and the effects of pinaverium were investigated on ACh or KCl-induced contraction. Colon smooth muscle cells were cultured from rats and (Ca(2+))(i) was measured in cell suspension using the Ca(2+) fluorescent dye fura-2/AM.

resultsDuring stress, rats fecal pellet output increased 61 % (P<0.01). Stimulated with ACh or KCl, the muscle contractility was higher in stress than that in control. Pinaverium inhibited the increment of (Ca(2+))(i) and the muscle contraction in response to ACh or KCl in a dose dependent manner. A significant inhibition of pinaverium to ACh or KCl induced (Ca(2+))(i) increment was observed at 10(-6) mol/L. The IC(50) values for inhibition of ACh induced contraction for the stress and control group were 1.66X10(-6) mol/L and 0.91X10(-6) mol/L, respectively. The IC(50) values for inhibition of KCl induced contraction for the stress and control group were 8.13X10(-7) mol/L and 3.80X10(-7) mol/L, respectively.

conclusionIncrease in (Ca(2+))(i) of smooth muscle cells is directly related to the generation of contraction force in colon. L-type Ca(2+) channels represent the main route of Ca(2+) entry. Pinaverium inhibits the calcium influx through L-type channels; decreases the contractile response to many kinds of agonists and regulates the stress-induced colon hypermotility.
