Effect of antipsychotic drug perphenazine on fast sodium current and transient outward potassium current in rat ventricular myocytes.

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
Antipsychotic drug perphenazine belongs to the phenothiazine group commonly reported to induce ECG changes and tachyarrhythmias. Data about its effect on ionic membrane currents in cardiomyocytes are missing. We analyzed the effect of perphenazine (0.1-100 microM) on fast sodium current I (Na) and transient outward potassium current I (to) in enzymatically isolated rat right ventricular myocytes by the whole-cell patch-clamp technique at room temperature. Perphenazine reversibly blocked I (Na) (reducing its amplitude; IC(50) = 1.24 +/- 0.10 microM) and I (to) (accelerating its apparent inactivation with a slight decrease of its amplitude; IC(50) = 38.2 +/- 3.5 microM, evaluated from changes of the time integral). The fast time constant of I (to) inactivation was significantly decreased in a concentration-dependent manner (IC(50) = 30.0 +/- 6.6 microM). Both blocks were use and frequency dependent at 3.3 Hz. We conclude that perphenazine causes concentration-, use-, and frequency-dependent block of I (Na) and I (to) . Computer simulations suggest that perphenazine interacts preferentially with I (Na) channels in inactivated states and with I (to) channels in both open and open-inactivated states.
