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

Ca2+ is known to enter skeletal muscle at rest and during activity. Except for the well-characterized Ca2+ entry through L-type channels, pathways involved in these Ca2+ entries remain elusive in adult muscle. This study investigates Ca2+ influx at rest and during activity using the method of Mn2+ quenching of fura-2 fluorescence on voltage-controlled adult skeletal muscle cells. Resting rate of Mn2+ influx depended on external [Mn2+] and membrane potential. At -80 mV, replacement of Mg2+ by Mn2+ gave rise to an outward current associated with an increase in cell input resistance. Calibration of fura-2 response indicated that Mn2+ influx was too small to be resolved as a macroscopic current. Partial depletion of the sarcoplasmic reticulum induced by a train of action potentials in the presence of cyclopiazonic acid led to a slight increase in resting Mn2+ influx but no change in cell input resistance and membrane potential. Trains of action potentials considerably increased Mn2+ entry through an electrically silent pathway independent of L-type channels, which provided 24% of the global Mn2+ influx at +30 mV under voltage-clamp conditions. Within this context, the nature and the physiological role of the Ca2+ pathways involved during muscle excitation still remain open questions.
