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

Contrary to intuitive expectations, overexpression of sarco-endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) ATPases (SERCAs) in Xenopus oocytes leads to a decrease in the period and an increase in the amplitude of intracellular Ca(2+) waves. Here we examine these experimental findings by modeling Ca(2+) release using a modified Othmer-Tang-model. An increase in the period and a reduction in the amplitude of Ca(2+) wave activity are obtained when increases in SERCA density are simulated while keeping all other parameters of the model constant. However, Ca(2+) wave period can be reduced and the wave amplitude and velocity can be significantly increased when an increase in the luminal ER Ca(2+) concentration due to SERCA overexpression is incorporated into the model. Increased luminal Ca(2+) occurs because increased SERCA activity lowers cytosolic Ca(2+), which is partially replenished by Ca(2+) influx across the plasma membrane. These simulations are supported by experimental data demonstrating higher luminal Ca(2+) levels, decreased periods, increased amplitude, and increased velocity of Ca(2+) waves in response to increased SERCA density.
