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

In this study, we present patch-clamp characterization of the background potassium current in human lymphoma (Jurkat cells), generated by voltage-independent 16 pS channels with a high ( approximately 100-fold) K+/Na+ selectivity. Depending on the background K+ channels density, from few per cell up to approximately 1 open channel per microm2, resting membrane potential was in the range of -40 to -83 mV, approaching E (K) = -88 mV. The background K+ channels were insensitive to margotoxin (3 nM), apamine (3 nM), and clotrimazole (1 microM), high-affinity blockers of the lymphocyte Kv1.3, SKCa2, and IKCa1 channels. The current depended weakly on external pH. Arachidonic acid (20 microM) and Hg2+ (0.3-10 microM) suppressed background K+ current in Jurkat cells by 75-90%. Background K+ current was weakly sensitive to TEA+ (IC50 = 14 mM), and was efficiently suppressed by externally applied bupivacaine (IC50 = 5 microM), quinine (IC50 = 16 microM), and Ba2+ (2 mM). Our data, in particular strong inhibition by mercuric ions, suggest that background K+ currents expressed in Jurkat cells are mediated by TWIK-related spinal cord K+ (TRESK) channels belonging to the double-pore domain K+ channel family. The presence of human TRESK in the membrane protein fraction was confirmed by Western blot analysis.
