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

Using the patch-clamp technique, we have characterised the inward current from enzymatically dispersed rabbit pulmonary arterial cells, and investigated the effects of the vasodilator, nitroprusside (NP), on these and other membrane currents. With Cs(+)-filled pipettes, inward currents were recorded during brief depolarizing voltage steps in both physiological Ca2+ and 10 mM Ba2+. The threshold for current activation was positive to -40 mV and the current peaked at 0 mV for Ca2+ and +10 mV for Ba2+. During the first few minutes of recording, inward currents increased or "ran-up". This could not be attributed to blockade of outward current or the inclusion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the patch pipette. Experiments revealed that all the inward current was carried through a single type of voltage-activated Ca2+ channel, namely the high-threshold, dihydropyridine-sensitive channel. It was unaffected by tetrodotoxin but was abolished at all potentials by low concentrations of Cd2+ (100 microM) or nifedipine (1-2 microM). NP (1 microM) suppressed peak inward Ba2+ current at +10 mV by approximately 45%. Higher concentrations (50 microM) did not produce further blockade of the current. This decrease was associated with increased inactivation of the current, and both effects required the presence of ATP in the patch pipette. In physiological Ca2+, using K(+)-filled pipettes, NP was found to induce spontaneous bursts of outward currents, which are probably activated by the release of Ca2+ from Ca(2+)-overloaded stores. These results are consistent with NP lowering cytosolic Ca2+, and hence causing vasodilation, by inhibiting Ca2+ influx through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels and by promoting Ca2+ uptake into the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
