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. Diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap4A) evoked a concentration-dependent increase in cytosolic [Ca2+] in resting chromaffin cells. The EC50 value for this action was 28.2 +/- 6.6 microM. This effect was also produced by diadenosine pentaphosphate (Ap5A) with an EC50 of 50 +/- 7 microM. 2. In contrast with this effect, pretreatment with Ap4A or Ap5A induced a 30% reduction in Ca2+ entry following 10 microM dimethylphenylpiperazinium. 3. The elevation in cytosolic [Ca2+] induced by Ap4A was persistent in approximately 100 nM external [Ca2+] and was sensitive to depletion of internal Ca2+ stores by a bradykinin prepulse or whole cell depletion in Ca2+. 4. The effect of Ap4A was mimicked and desensitized by the agonist adenosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate), and blocked by the P2Y-receptor antagonist, cibachrome blue. The P2X-receptor agonist alpha,beta-methylene adenosine 5'-triphosphate was inactive both by itself or in combination with Ap4A. This is compatible with a P2Y-purinoceptor-mediated action.
