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

Pig coronary artery smooth muscle expresses the Na(+)-Ca(2+)-exchanger NCX1 and the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SER) Ca(2+) pump SERCA2. NCX has been proposed to play a role in refilling the SER Ca(2+) pool. Caveolae may also direct Ca(2+) traffic during cell signaling. Here, we use immunofluorescence microscopy to determine if there is proximity between NCX1, SERCA2, and the caveolar protein caveolin-1. Stacks of images of cell surface domains were analyzed. Image stacks for one protein were analyzed for overlap with another protein, with and without randomization or image shifting. Within the resolution of light microscopy, there is significant overlap in the distributions of NCX1, SERCA2, and caveolin-1 but the three proteins are not always co-localized. The proximity between NCX1, SERCA2 is consistent with the assertion that NCX may supply Ca(2+) for refilling the SER but this relationship is only partial. Similarly, caveolae may direct traffic in some Ca(2+) signaling pathways but not others.
