Actin microfilament involved in regulation of pacemaking activity in cultured interstitial cells of Cajal from murine intestine.

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
The present study investigated the effect of actin microfilament structure on pacemaker currents and calcium oscillation in cultured murine intestinal interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) by whole-cell patch-clamp technique and calcium imaging technique. Cytochalasin B, a disruptor of actin microfilaments, decreased the amplitude and frequency of pacemaker currents from 491.32 +/- 160.33 pA and 11.73 +/- 0.79 cycles/min to 233.12 +/- 92.00 pA and 10.29 +/- 0.76 cycles/min. Cytochalasin B also decreased the amplitude and frequency of calcium oscillation from 0.32 +/- 0.08 (DeltaF/F0) and 2.75 +/- 0.17 cycles/min to 0.02 +/- 0.01 (DeltaF/F0) and 1.20 +/- 0.08 cycles/min. Phalloidin, a stabilizer of actin microfilaments, increased the amplitude and frequency of pacemaker currents from 751.79 +/- 282.82 pA and 13.93 +/- 1.00 cycles/min to 1234.34 +/- 607.83 pA and 14.68 +/- 1.00 cycles/min. Phalloidin also increased the amplitude and frequency of calcium oscillation from 0.26 +/- 0.01 (DeltaF/F0) and 2.27 +/- 0.18 cycles/min to 0.43 +/- 0.03 (DeltaF/F0) and 2.87 +/- 0.07 cycles/min. 2-Aminoethoxydiphenyl borane (2-APB), an IP(3) receptor blocker, suppressed both pacemaker currents and calcium oscillations. 2-APB also blocked the phalloidin-induced increase in pacemaker currents and calcium oscillation. Ryanodine, an inhibitor of calcium-induced calcium release, did not affect pacemaker current but suppressed calcium oscillations. Ryanodine had no effect on altering phalloidin-induced increases in pacemaker current and calcium oscillation. These results suggest that actin microfilaments regulate pacemaker activity via the IP(3)-induced calcium release signaling pathway.
