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+)-activated Cl- currents were studied in isolated cells from rat portal vein smooth muscle in short-term primary culture using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Cl- currents can be activated separately by Ca2+ release from intracellular stores (in response to external applications of caffeine or noradrenaline) and by Ca2+ influx through voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels. The effects of several Cl- channel blockers and of spironolactone (a substance known to reduce internal Ca2+ loading) on both Cl- and Ca2+ currents were examined. Diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS), anthracene-9-carboxylic acid (9-AC) and diphenylamine-2,2'-dicarboxylic acid (DPC) inhibited the Ca(2+)-activated Cl- current (IC50 values between 16.5 and 306 microM) with no effects on the inward Ca2+ current and on internal Ca2+ loading (testing by measuring the Ca(2+)-activated K+ current). These results indicate that the inhibition of Cl- current by these compounds is due to a direct interaction with the Cl- channel. In contrast, spironolactone inhibited both K+ and Cl- currents (IC50 = 7.6 microM) by reducing the amount of Ca2+ located in the internal stores, whereas the Cl- current activated by Ca2+ current through T-type Ca2+ channels was unchanged. This preparation and the protocols developed in this study appears to be appropriate for analysis of substances interfering with Cl- channels or intracellular Ca2+ stores.
