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

Anion and cation channels present in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) are believed to be necessary to maintain the electroneutrality of SR membrane during Ca(2+) uptake by the SR Ca(2+) pump (SERCA). Here we incorporated canine cardiac SR ion channels into lipid bilayers and studied the effects of tamoxifen and other antiestrogens on these channels. A Cl(-) channel was identified exhibiting multiple subconductance levels which could be divided into two primary conductance bands. Tamoxifen decreases the time the channel spends in its higher, voltage-sensitive band and the mean channel current. The lower, voltage-insensitive, conductance band is not affected by tamoxifen, nor is a K(+) channel present in the cardiac SR preparation. By examining SR Ca(2+) uptake, SERCA ATPase activity, and SR ion channels in the same preparation, we also estimated SERCA transport current, SR Cl(-) and K(+) currents, and the density of SERCA, Cl(-), and K(+) channels in cardiac SR membranes.
