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 voltage-activated fluxes of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and from the extracellular space were studied in skeletal muscle fibres of adult mice. Single fibres of the interosseus muscle were enzymatically isolated and voltage clamped using a two-electrode technique. The fibres were perfused from the current-passing micropipette with a solution containing 15 mm EGTA and 0.2 mm of either fura-2 or the faster, lower affinity indicator fura-FF. Electrical recordings in parallel with the fluorescence measurements allowed the estimation of intramembrane gating charge movements and transmembrane Ca(2+) inward current exhibiting half-maximal activation at -7.60 +/- 1.29 and 3.0 +/- 1.44 mV, respectively. The rate of Ca(2+) release from the SR was calculated after fitting the relaxation phases of fluorescence ratio signals with a kinetic model to quantify overall Ca(2+) removal. Results obtained with the two indicators were similar. Ca(2+) release was 2-3 orders of magnitude larger than the flux carried by the L-type Ca(2+) current. At maximal depolarization (+50 mV), release flux peaked at about 3 ms after the onset of the voltage pulse and then decayed in two distinct phases. The slower phase, most likely resulting from SR depletion, indicated a decrease in lumenal Ca(2+) content by about 80% within 100 ms. Unlike in frog fibres, the kinetics of the rapid phase of decay showed no dependence on the filling state of the SR and the results provide little evidence for a substantial increase of SR permeability on depletion. The approach described here promises insight into excitation-contraction coupling in future studies of genetically altered mice.
