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 Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransporter (NBC) is an important sarcolemmal acid extruder in cardiac muscle. The characteristics of NBC expressed functionally in heart are controversial, with reports suggesting electroneutral (NBCn; 1HCO(3)(-) : 1Na(+); coupling coefficient N= 1) or electrogenic forms of the transporter (NBCe; equivalent to 2HCO(3)(-) : 1Na(+); N= 2). We have used voltage-clamp and epifluorescence techniques to compare NBC activity in isolated ventricular myocytes from rabbit, rat and guinea pig. Depolarization (by voltage clamp or hyperkalaemia) reversibly increased steady-state pH(i) while hyperpolarization decreased it, effects seen only in CO(2)/HCO(3)(-)-buffered solutions, and blocked by S0859 (cardiac NBC inhibitor). Species differences in amplitude of these pH(i) changes were rat > guinea pig approximately rabbit. Tonic depolarization (-140 mV to -0 mV) accelerated NBC-mediated pH(i) recovery from an intracellular acid load. At 0 mV, NBC-mediated outward current at resting pH(i) was +0.52 +/- 0.05 pA pF(-1) (rat, n= 5), +0.26 +/- 0.05 pA pF(-1) (guinea pig, n= 5) and +0.10 +/- 0.03 pA pF(-1) (rabbit, n= 9), with reversal potentials near -100 mV, consistent with N= 2. The above results indicate a functionally active voltage-sensitive NBCe in these species. Voltage-clamp hyperpolarization negative to the reversal potential for NBCe failed, however, to terminate or reverse NBC-mediated pH(i)-recovery from an acid load although it was slowed significantly, suggesting electroneutral NBC may also be operational. NBC-mediated pH(i) recovery was associated with a rise of [Na(+)](i) at a rate approximately 25% of that mediated via NHE, and consistent with an apparent NBC stoichiometry between N= 1 and N= 2. In conclusion, NBCe in the ventricular myocyte displays considerable functional variation among the three species tested (greatest in rat, least in rabbit) and may coexist with some NBCn activity.
