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

Recently, a novel type of anion channel activated by extracellular acidification has been found in a variety of mammalian cell types. However, the role of this acid-sensitive outwardly rectifying (ASOR) anion channel is not known. In human epithelial HeLa cells, reduction in extracellular pH below 5 rapidly activated anion-selective whole-cell currents. The currents exhibited strong outward rectification, activation kinetics at positive potentials, low-field anion selectivity, and sensitivity to 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) and phloretin. When outside-out patches were exposed to acidic bathing solution, single-channel events of the anion channel could be observed. The unitary conductance was 4.8 pS in the voltage range between -80 and +80 mV. The single-channel activity prominently increased with depolarization and was suppressed by DIDS or phloretin. After 1-h incubation in acidic solution (pH 4.5), a significant population of HeLa cells suffered from necrotic cell injury characterized by stainability with propidium iodide and lack of caspase-3 activation. Upon exposure to acidic solution, HeLa cells exhibited immediate, persistent swelling. Both the necrotic volume increase and cell injury induced by extracellular acidification were inhibited by DIDS or phloretin. Therefore, it is concluded that the ASOR anion channel is involved in the genesis of necrotic cell injury induced by acidosis in human epithelial cells.
