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

Ca2+ efflux from the sarcoplasmic reticulum decreases when store Ca2+ concentration falls, particularly in skinned fibers and isolated vesicles where luminal Ca2+ can be reduced to very low levels. However ryanodine receptor activity in many single channel studies is higher when the luminal free Ca2+ concentration is reduced. We investigated the hypothesis that prolonged exposure to low luminal Ca2+ causes conformational changes in calsequestrin and deregulation of ryanodine receptors, allowing channel activity to increase. Lowering of luminal Ca2+ from 1 mM to 100 microM for several minutes resulted in conformational changes with dissociation of 65-75% of calsequestrin from the junctional face membrane. The calsequestrin remaining associated no longer regulated channels. In the absence of this regulation, ryanodine receptors were more active when luminal Ca2+ was lowered from 1 mM to 100 microM. In contrast, when ryanodine receptors were calsequestrin regulated, lowering luminal Ca2+ either did not alter or decreased activity. Ryanodine receptors are regulated by calsequestrin under physiological conditions where calsequestrin is polymerized. Since depolymerization occurs slowly, calsequestrin can regulate the ryanodine receptor and prevent excess Ca2+ release when the store is transiently depleted, for example, during high frequency activity or early stages of muscle fatigue.
