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

We have followed the sequestration of Ca(2+) by intracellular compartments in sea urchin embryos through the first cell cycles. To gain biochemical access to these compartments, the embryos were permeabilized by brief exposure to an intense electric field. Sequestration was determined as the retention of tracer, (45)Ca, after filtration of aliquots on Millipore filters. The permeabilized cells sequester Ca(2+) at a constant rate for at least 20 min, with the following characteristics: (i) ATP is required. (ii) Sequestration occurs at Ca(2+) levels corresponding to those estimated in vivo. (iii) The Ca(2+) concentration dependence of sequestration and its insensitivity to mitochondrial poisons imply that the activity derives from a single, nonmitochondrial transport system. The Ca(2+)-sequestering activities of embryos that are permeabiized at successive stages of the first cell cycle (one-cell stage) progressively increase to 5 times the initial level. The rate of sequestration is maximal during telophase and, in some populations of zygotes, is nearly as great throughout prophase. Over the course of the second cell cycle (two-cell stage), the activity undergoes a 2-fold oscillation that bears the same temporal relationship to mitosis as the previous fluctuation.
