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

We report a method for the concurrent measurement of intracellular [Na+] ([Na+ ]i) and pH (pHi) in cells co-loaded with SBFI, a Na+-sensitive fluorophore, and either carboxy SNARF-1 or SNARF-5F, H+-sensitive fluorophores. With the optical filters specified, fluorescence emissions from SBFI and either SNARF derivative were sufficiently distinct to allow the accurate measurement of [Na+]i and pHi in rat hippocampal neurons. Neither the Na+ sensitivity of SBFI nor the pH sensitivities of carboxy SNARF-1 or SNARF-5F was affected by the presence of a SNARF derivative or SBFI, respectively. In addition, the calibration parameters obtained in neurons single-loaded with SBFI, carboxy SNARF-1 or SNARF-5F were not significantly influenced by the presence of a second fluorophore. In contrast to the established weak sensitivity of SBFI for protons, both SNARF derivatives appeared essentially insensitive to changes in [Na+]i. The utility of the technique was demonstrated in neurons co-loaded with SBFI and SNARF-5F, which was found to have a lower p Ka in situ than carboxy SNARF-1. There were no significant differences in the changes in [Na+]i and pHi observed in response either to intracellular acid loads imposed by the NH4+ prepulse technique or to transient periods of anoxia in neurons single-loaded with SBFI or SNARF-5F or co-loaded with both probes. The findings support the feasibility of using SBFI in conjunction with either carboxy SNARF-1 or SNARF-5F to concurrently and accurately measure [Na+]i and pHi.
