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

Bestrophin-1, mainly analyzed in overexpression experiments, functions as Ca(2+)-dependent Cl(-) channel. Analysis of endogenously expressed bestrophin-1 suggested an influence on intracellular Ca(2+). The aim of the study is to analyze the influence of endogenously expressed bestrophin-1 on Ca(2+) homeostasis. Primary cultures of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells were established from wild-type and bestrophin-1-deficient mice. Intracellular free Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) was recorded by Ca(2+) imaging; through immunocytochemistry and differential centrifugation, subcellular localization of bestrophin-1 was analyzed. RPE cells of bestrophin-1-deficient mice showed higher levels of resting [Ca(2+)](i) than cells from wild-type mice. In cells from knockout mice and wild-type mice, ATP led to increases in [Ca(2+)](i) subsequent to phospholipase C activation. ATP-induced Ca(2+) in bestrophin-1-deficient mice rose faster and decayed slower. In cells from wild-type mice, ATP led to [Ca(2+)](i) increase via depletion of Ca(2+) from thapsigargin-sensitive stores. In cells from bestrophin-1-deficient mice, ATP-dependent increase in [Ca(2+)](i) resulted in 40% of cells from depletion of bafilomycin-sensitive and in 60% from thapsigargin-sensitive Ca(2+) stores. After differential centrifugation, bestrophin-1 was found in fractions enriched of ClC-3 Cl channel and myosin-7A. Co-localization analysis of bestrophin-1, with beta-catenin or pan-cadherin, in fresh sections of porcine retina, revealed bestrophin-1 in the basolateral membrane. A portion of endogenously expressed bestrophin-1,localized in the endoplasmic reticulum, influenced uptake of Ca(2+) into Ca(2+) stores. Therefore, bestrophin-1 possibly conducts Cl(-) as counter ion for Ca(2+) uptake into cytosolic Ca(2+) stores.
