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

Potassium channels are required for the absorption and secretion of fluids and electrolytes in epithelia. Calu-3 cells possess a secretory phenotype, and are a model human airway submucosal gland serous cell. Short-circuit current (I(sc)) recordings from Calu-3 cells indicated that basal anion secretion was reduced by apical application of the K+ channel inhibitors bupivicaine, lidocaine, clofilium, and quinidine. Application of riluzole resulted in a large increase in I(sc), inhibited by apical application of either bupivicane or the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl- channel blocker DPC. These results suggested that one or more members of the two-pore-domain K+ (K(2P)) channel family could influence anion secretion. Using RT-PCR, we found that Calu-3 cells express mRNA transcripts for TASK-2 (KCNK5), TWIK-1 (KCNK1), TWIK-2 (KCNK6) and TREK-1 (KCNK2). TASK-2, TWIK-2 and TREK-1 protein were detected by Western blotting, while immunolocalization of polarized cells confirmed protein expression of TREK-1 and TWIK-2 at the plasma cell membrane. TASK-2 protein staining was localized to intracellular vesicles, located beneath the apical membrane. While the pro-secretory role of basolateral K+ channels is well established, we suggest that apically located K2P channels, not previously described in airway epithelial cells, also play an important role in controlling the rate of transepithelial anion secretion.
