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. Smooth muscle cells of the rat portal vein were dispersed by enzymatic treatment and recordings of whole-cell membrane potassium currents were made by the voltage-clamp technique. In isolated cells by use of combined voltage- and current-clamp the effect of BRL 38227 on membrane potential and ionic currents was also studied. 2. BRL 38227 (0.1 to 10 microM) induced a non-inactivating potassium current (IKCO) which developed slowly (900 s to 300 s, respectively) to its full size. These effects of BRL 38227 were reversible. 3. In addition to its K-channel opening properties, BRL 38227 (1 to 10 microM) inhibited the amplitude and changed the activation and inactivation characteristics of a slowly-inactivating, calcium influx-independent, outward potassium current (I(TO)). 4. Application of stationary fluctuation analysis to IKCO, showed a mean single channel current of 0.65 pA at -10 mV under a quasi-physiological potassium gradient. 5. In a combined voltage-clamp/current-clamp configuration, BRL 38227 (1 microM) induced a mean hyperpolarization of 22 mV. 6. The induction of IKCO by BRL 38227 and the associated hyperpolarization were suppressed by glibenclamide (1 to 10 microM) in a concentration-dependent manner. Glibenclamide (1 microM) had no effect on the inhibition of I(TO) by BRL 38227 (1 microM).
