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

We used patch-clamp electrophysiology to investigate regulation of the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) by endothelin-1 (ET-1) in isolated, split-open rat collecting ducts. ET-1 significantly decreases ENaC open probability by about threefold within 5 min. ET-1 decreases ENaC activity through basolateral membrane ETB but not ETA receptors. In rat collecting duct, we find no role for phospholipase C or protein kinase C in the rapid response of ENaC to ET-1. ET-1, although, does activate src family tyrosine kinases and their downstream MAPK1/2 effector cascade in renal principal cells. Both src kinases and MAPK1/2 signaling are necessary for ET-1-dependent decreases in ENaC open probability in the split-open collecting duct. We conclude that ET-1 in a physiologically relevant manner rapidly suppresses ENaC activity in native, mammalian principal cells. These findings may provide a potential mechanism for the natriuresis observed in vivo in response to ET-1, as well as a potential cause for the salt-sensitive hypertension found in animals with impaired endothelin signaling.
