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

Calcium-activated potassium (KCa) channels are highly modulated by a large spectrum of metabolites. Neurotransmitters, hormones, lipids, and nucleotides are capable of activating and/or inhibiting KCa channels. Studies from the last few years have shown that metabolites modulate the activity of KCa channels via: (1) a change in the affinity of the channel for Ca2+ (K 1/2 is modified), (2) a parallel shift in the voltage axis of the activation curves, or (3) a change in the slope (effective valence) of the voltage dependence curve. The shift of the voltage dependence curve can be a direct consequence of the change in the affinity for Ca2+. Recently, the mechanistic steps involved in the modulation of KCa channels are being uncovered. Some interactions may be direct on KCa channels and others may be mediated via G-proteins, second messengers, or phosphorylation. The information given in this review highlights the possibility that KCa channels can be activated or inhibited by metabolites without a change in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration.
