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

unlabelledGap junction-mediated K(+) recycling in the cochlear supporting cell has been proposed to play a critical role in hearing. However, how potassium ions enter into the supporting cells to recycle K(+) remains undetermined. In this paper, we report that ATP can mediate K(+) sinking to recycle K(+) in the cochlear supporting cells. We found that micromolar or submicromolar levels of ATP could evoke a K(+)-dependent inward current in the cochlear supporting cells. At negative membrane potentials and the resting membrane potential of -80 mV, the amplitude of the ATP-evoked inward current demonstrated a linear relationship to the extracellular concentration of K(+), increasing as the extracellular concentration of K(+) increased. The inward current also increased as the concentration of ATP was increased. In the absence of ATP, there was no evoked inward current for extracellular K(+) challenge in the cochlear supporting cells. The ATP-evoked inward current could be inhibited by ionotropic purinergic (P2X) receptor antagonists. Application of pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid (PPADS, 50 microM) or pre-incubation with an irreversible P2X7 antagonist oxidized ATP (oATP, 0.1 mM) completely abolished the ATP-evoked inward current at the negative membrane potential. ATP also evoked an inward current at cell depolarization, which could be inhibited by intracellular Cs(+) and eliminated by positive holding potentials. Our data indicate that ATP can activate P2X receptors to recycle K(+) in the cochlear supporting cells at the resting membrane potential under normal physiological and pathological conditions. This ATP-mediated K(+) recycling may play an important role in the maintenance of cochlear ionic homeostasis.
