Angiotensin II type 1 receptor mediates partially hyposmotic-induced increase of I (Ks) current in guinea pig atrium.
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 2 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
A repolarizing conduction in the heart augmented by hyposmotic or mechanically induced membrane stretch is the slow component of delayed rectifier K(+) current (I (Ks)). I (Ks) upregulation is recognized as a factor promoting appearance of atrial fibrillation (AF) since gain-of-function mutations of the channel genes have been detected in congenital AF. Mechanical stretch activates angiotensin II type 1 (AT(1)) receptor in the absence of its physiological ligand angiotensin II. We investigated the functional role of AT(1) receptor in I (Ks) enhancement in hyposmotically challenged guinea pig atrial myocytes using the whole-cell patch-clamp method. In atrial myocytes exposed to hyposmotic solution with osmolality decreased to 70% of the physiological level, I (Ks) was enhanced by 84.1%, the duration of action potential at 90% repolarization (APD(90)) was decreased by 16.8%, and resting membrane potential was depolarized (+4.9 mV). The hyposmotic-induced effects on I (Ks) and APD(90) were significantly attenuated by specific AT(1) receptor antagonist candesartan (1 and 5 muM). Pretreatment of atrial myocytes with protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors tyrphostin A23 and A25 suppressed but the presence of tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor orthovanadate augmented hyposmotic stimulation of I (Ks). The above results implicate AT(1) receptor and tyrosine kinases in the hyposmotic modulation of atrial I (Ks) and suggest acute antiarrhythmic properties of AT(1) antagonists in the settings of stretch-related atrial tachyarrhythmias.
