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

backgroundAldosterone has a rapid, non-genomic, inhibitory effect on macroscopic basolateral K(+) conductance in the human colon, reducing its capacity for Cl(-) secretion. The molecular identity of the K(+) channels constituting this aldosterone inhibitable K(+) conductance is unclear.

aimTo characterise the K(+) channel inhibited by aldosterone present in the basolateral membrane of human colonic crypt cells.

methodsCrypts were isolated from biopsies of healthy sigmoid colon obtained during colonoscopy. The effect of aldosterone on basolateral K(+) channels, and the possible involvement of Na(+):H(+) exchange, were studied by patch clamp techniques. Total RNA from isolated crypts was subjected to reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using primers specific to intermediate conductance K(+) channels (KCNN4) previously identified in other human tissues.

resultsIn cell attached patches, 1 nmol/l aldosterone significantly decreased the activity of intermediate conductance (27 pS) K(+) channels by 31%, 53%, and 54% after 1, 5 and 10, minutes, respectively. Increasing aldosterone concentration to 10 nmol/l produced a further 56% decrease in channel activity after five minutes. Aldosterone 1-10 nmol/l had no effect on channel activity in the presence of 20 micro mol/l ethylisopropylamiloride, an inhibitor of Na(+):H(+) exchange. RT-PCR identified KCNN4 mRNA, which is likely to encode the 27 pS K(+) channel inhibited by aldosterone.

conclusionIntermediate conductance K(+) channels (KCNN4) present in the basolateral membranes of human colonic crypt cells are a target for the non-genomic inhibitory effect of aldosterone, which involves stimulation of Na(+):H(+) exchange, thereby reducing the capacity of the colon for Cl(-) secretion.
