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

The functional role of low voltage activated (LVA) calcium channels in the cerebellar Purkinje cell dendritic tree is not completely understood. Since the localization of these channels will influence their possible roles in dendritic integration and induction of plasticity, we set out to characterize the LVA calcium current in Purkinje cell dendrites in acute cerebellar slices of young rats. Using a combination of electrophysiological recordings and two-photon laser scanning microscopy, we show that LVA calcium current recorded at the soma can be correlated with voltage-dependent calcium transients in Purkinje cell dendritic spines. Blocking sodium and potassium conductances allowed us to isolate and characterize a fast inactivating inward current activated positive to -55 mV. Activation and steady-state inactivation kinetics, voltage-dependent deactivation kinetics, and pharmacological experiments (using omega-agatoxin-IVA, mibefradil and nickel) show that this current is carried by T-type calcium channels. Furthermore, the LVA calcium transient observed in the dendritic spines of the Purkinje cell is well correlated with the current recorded at the soma, suggesting that T-type calcium channels are the main component of the LVA calcium input in spines. The fast rising phase of the calcium transient in spines and the absence of delay between the onset in the spine and the parent dendrite show that T-type calcium channels are present both in spines and dendrites of the Purkinje cell.
