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

Most excitable cells, including gastrointestinal smooth muscle cells, express several types of K+ channels. The aim of this study was to examine the types of K' channels involved in the contractility of longitudinal smooth muscle of rabbit small intestine in vitro. Spontaneous contractions and KCl-stimulated contractions were reduced by atropine, phentolamine, propranolol, suramin, tetrodotoxin and indomethacin. The amplitude and tone of spontaneous contractions were increased by apamin, charybdotoxin, iberiotoxin, E4031, tetraetylammonium (TEA) and BaCl2. The frequency of contractions was reduced in the presence of apamin and TEA and increased by charybdotoxin. It was found that 4-aminopyridine increased the tone of spontaneous contractions and reduced the amplitude and frequency of contractions. Glibenclamide did not modify the amplitude, frequency or tone of contractions. KCl-stimulated contractions were increased by E4031, were not modified by apamin, glibenclamide, NS1619 or diazoxide, and were reduced by charybdotoxin, TEA, 4-aminopyridine or BaCl2. These results suggest that both Ca2+-activated K+ channels of small and high conductance, and HERG K+ channels and inward rectifier K+ channels participate in spontaneous contractions of small intestine. On the other hand, voltage-dependent K+ channels, HERG K+ channels, inward rectifier K+ channels and high conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels are involved in KCl-stimulated contractions.
