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

Airway hyperresponsiveness is a major characteristic of asthma and is generally ascribed to excessive airway narrowing associated with the contraction of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs). ASMC contraction is initiated by a rise in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), observed as oscillatory Ca(2+) waves that can be induced by either agonist or high extracellular K(+) (KCl). In this work, we present a model of oscillatory Ca(2+) waves based on experimental data that incorporate both the inositol trisphosphate receptor and the ryanodine receptor. We then combined this Ca(2+) model and our modified actin-myosin cross-bridge model to investigate the role and contribution of oscillatory Ca(2+) waves to contractile force generation in mouse ASMCs. The model predicts that: 1), the difference in behavior of agonist- and KCl-induced Ca(2+) waves results principally from the fact that the sarcoplasmic reticulum is depleted during agonist-induced oscillations, but is overfilled during KCl-induced oscillations; 2), regardless of the order in which agonist and KCl are added into the cell, the resulting [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations will always be the short-period, agonist-induced-like oscillations; and 3), both the inositol trisphosphate receptor and the ryanodine receptor densities are higher toward one end of the cell. In addition, our results indicate that oscillatory Ca(2+) waves generate less contraction than whole-cell Ca(2+) oscillations induced by the same agonist concentration. This is due to the spatial inhomogeneity of the receptor distributions.
