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

Oscillations of cytosolic Ca2+ levels are believed to have important roles in various metabolic and signalling processes in many cell types. Previously, we have demonstrated that acetylcholine (ACh) evokes Ca2+ oscillations in vascular myocytes expressing InsP3R1 and InsP3R2, whereas transient responses are activated in vascular myocytes expressing InsP3R1 alone. The molecular mechanisms underlying oscillations remain to be described in these native smooth muscle cells. Two major hypotheses are proposed to explain this crucial signalling activity: (1) Ca2+ oscillations are activated by InsP3 oscillations; and (2) Ca2+ oscillations depend on the regulation of the InsP3R by both InsP3 and Ca2+. In the present study, we used a fluorescent InsP3 biosensor and revealed that ACh induced a transient InsP3 production in all myocytes. Moreover, steady concentrations of 3F-InsP3, a poorly hydrolysable analogue of InsP3, and pharmacological activation of PLC evoked Ca2+ oscillations. Increasing cytosolic Ca2+ inhibited the ACh-induced calcium oscillations but not the transient responses and strongly reduced the 3F-InsP3-evoked Ca2+ response in oscillating cells but not in non-oscillating cells. These results suggest that, in native vascular myocytes, ACh-induced InsP3 production is transient and Ca2+ oscillations depend on a Ca2+ modulation of InsP3R2.
