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

The time course and magnitude of the Ca(2+) fluxes underlying spontaneous Ca(2+) waves in single permeabilized ventricular cardiomyocytes were derived from confocal Fluo-5F fluorescence signals. Peak flux rates via the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) release channel (RyR2) and the SR Ca(2+) ATPase (SERCA) were not constant across a range of cellular [Ca(2+)] values. The Ca(2+) affinity (K(mf)) and maximum turnover rate (V(max)) of SERCA and the peak permeability of the RyR2-mediated Ca(2+) release pathway increased at higher cellular [Ca(2+)] loads. This information was used to create a computational model of the Ca(2+) wave, which predicted the time course and frequency dependence of Ca(2+) waves over a range of cellular Ca(2+) loads. Incubation of cardiomyocytes with the Ca(2+) calmodulin (CaM) kinase inhibitor autocamtide-2-related inhibitory peptide (300 nM, 30 mins) significantly reduced the frequency of the Ca(2+) waves at high Ca(2+) loads. Analysis of the Ca(2+) fluxes suggests that inhibition of CaM kinase prevented the increases in SERCA V(max) and peak RyR2 release flux observed at high cellular [Ca(2+)]. These data support the view that modification of activity of SERCA and RyR2 via a CaM kinase sensitive process occurs at higher cellular Ca(2+) loads to increase the maximum frequency of spontaneous Ca(2+) waves.
