Adaptative modifications of right coronary myocytes voltage-gated K+ currents in rat with hypoxic pulmonary hypertension.
Article in Pflugers Archiv : European journal of physiology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Chronic hypoxia (CH)-induced pulmonary hypertension (PHT) is well known to alter K+ channels in pulmonary myocytes. PHT induces right ventricle hypertrophy that increases oxygen demand; however, coronary blood flow and K+ channel adaptations of coronary myocytes during PHT remain unknown. We determined whether CH and PHT altered K+ currents and coronary reactivity and what impact they might have on right myocardial perfusion. Right ventricle perfusion, as attested by microspheres, was redistributed toward hypertrophied right ventricle [RV/LV (%)=0.59+/-0.07% in CH rats vs. 0.29+/-0.03 in control rats, P<0.05]. Whole-cell patch clamping showed a reduction of global outward current in hypoxic right coronary artery myocytes (H-RCA), whereas hypoxic left coronary artery myocytes exhibited an increase. K+ channel blockers revealed that a 4-aminopyridine (4AP)-sensitive current (Kv current) was decreased in H-RCA (14.3+/-1.1 vs. 23.4+/-2.5 pA/pF at 60 mV in control RCA, P<0.05) and increased in hypoxic left coronary artery myocytes (H-LCA; 26.4+/-3.8 vs. 11.8+/-1.6 pA/pF at 60 mV in control LCA, P<0.05). Constriction to 4AP was decreased in H-RCA when compared to normoxic control and increased in H-LCA when compared to LCA. Finally, we observed that the expression of Kv1.2 and Kv1.5 were lower in H-RCA than that in H-LCA. This study reveals that CH differentially regulates Kv channels in coronary myocytes. Hypoxia decreases Kv currents and therefore reduces vasoreactivity that contributes to an adaptative response leading to right hypertrophied ventricle perfusion enhancement at rest.
