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

In heart muscle the amplification and shaping of Ca(2+) signals governing contraction are orchestrated by recruiting a variable number of Ca(2+) sparks. Sparks reflect Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via Ca(2+) release channels (ryanodine receptors, RyRs). RyRs are activated by Ca(2+) influx via L-type Ca(2+) channels with a specific probability that may depend on regulatory mechanisms (e.g. beta-adrenergic stimulation) or diseased states (e.g. heart failure). Changes of RyR phosphorylation may be critical for both regulation and impaired function in disease. Using UV flash photolysis of caged Ca(2+) and short applications of caffeine in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes, we found that Ca(2+) release signals on the cellular level were largely governed by global SR content. During beta-adrenergic stimulation resting myocytes exhibited smaller SR Ca(2+) release signals when activated by photolysis (62.3% of control), resulting from reduced SR Ca(2+) content under these conditions (58.6% of control). In contrast, local signals triggered with diffraction limited two-photon photolysis displayed the opposite behaviour, exhibiting a larger Ca(2+) release (164% of control) despite reduced global and local SR Ca(2+) content. This apparent paradox implies changes of RyR open probabilities after beta-adrenergic stimulation, enhancing local regenerativity and reliability of Ca(2+) signalling. Thus, our results underscore the importance of phosphorylation of RyRs (or of a related protein), as a regulatory physiological mechanism that may also provide new therapeutic avenues to recover impaired Ca(2+) signalling during cardiac disease.
