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

Ca(2+) sparks as the elementary intracellular Ca(2+) release events are instrumental to local control of Ca(2+) signaling in many types of cells. Here, we visualized neural Ca(2+) sparks in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons and investigated possible role of DRG sparks in the regulation of secretion from the somata of the cell. DRG sparks arose mainly from type 3 ryanodine receptor Ca(2+) release channels on subsurface cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum, rendering a striking subsurface localization. Caffeine- or 3,7-dimethyl-1-(2-propynyl)xanthine-induced store Ca(2+) release, in the form of Ca(2+) sparks, triggered exocytosis, independently of membrane depolarization and external Ca(2+). The spark-secretion coupling probability was estimated to be between 1 vesicle per 6.6 sparks and 1 vesicle per 11.4 sparks. During excitation, subsurface sparks were evoked by physiological Ca(2+) entry via the Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release mechanism, and their synergistic interaction with Ca(2+) influx accounted for approximately 60% of the Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis. Furthermore, inhibition of Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release abolished endotoxin-induced secretion of pain-related neuropeptides. These findings underscore an important role for Ca(2+) sparks in the amplification of surface Ca(2+) influx and regulation of neural secretion.
