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

1. Rheumatoid arthritis reduces verapamil oral clearance thereby increases plasma concentration of the drug. This coincides with reduced drug effects through an unknown mechanism. 2. The effect of interferon-induced acute inflammation on the pharmacokinetics and electrocardiogram of verapamil (20 mg kg(-1), p.o.) and nifedipine (0.1 mg kg(-1), i.v.) was studied in Sprague-Dawley rats. 3. The effect of both acute and chronic inflammation on radioligand binding to cardiac L-type calcium channels was also investigated. 4. Acute inflammation resulted in increased plasma concentration of verapamil but had no effect on that of nifedipine. Verapamil binding to plasma proteins was unaffected. 5. As has been reported for humans, the increased verapamil concentration coincided with a reduction in the degree to which PR interval is prolonged by the drug. The effect of nifedipine on PR interval was also reduced by inflammation. 6. Maximum binding of (3)H-nitrendipine to cardiac cell membrane was significantly reduced from 63.2+/-2.5 fmol mg(-1) protein in controls to 46.4+/-2.0 in acute inflammation and from 66.8+/-2.2 fmol mg(-1) protein in controls to 42.2+/-2.0 in chronic inflammation. 7. Incubation of the normal cardiac cell membranes with 100 and 1000 pg ml(-1) of rat tissue necrosis factor-alpha did not influence the binding indices to the calcium channels. 8. Our data suggest that the reduced calcium channel responsiveness is because of altered binding to channels.
