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

The effect of intracellular acidification and subsequent pH recovery in sensory neurons has not been well characterized. We have studied the mechanisms underlying Ca(2+)-induced acidification and subsequent recovery of intracellular pH (pH(i)) in rat trigeminal ganglion neurons and report their effects on neuronal excitability. Glutamate (500 μM) and capsaicin (1 μM) increased intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) with a following decrease in pH(i). The recovery of [Ca(2+)](i) to the prestimulus level was inhibited by LaCl(3) (1 mM) and o-vanadate (10 mM), a plasma membrane Ca(2+)/ATPase (PMCA) inhibitor. Removal of extracellular Ca(2+) also completely inhibited the acidification induced by capsaicin. TRPV1 was expressed only in small and medium sized trigeminal ganglion neurons. mRNAs for Na(+)/H(+) exchanger type 1 (NHE1), pancreatic Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransporter type 1 (pNBC1), NBC3, NBC4, and PMCA types 1-3 were detected by RT-PCR. pH(i) recovery was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with NHE1 or pNBC1 siRNA. We found that the frequency of action potentials (APs) was dependent on pH(i). Application of the NHE1 inhibitor 5'-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl) amiloride (5 μM) or the pNBC1 inhibitor 4',4'-di-isothiocyanostilbene-2',2'-sulfonic acid (500 μM) delayed pH(i) recovery and decreased AP frequency. Simultaneous application of 5'-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl) amiloride and 4',4'-di-isothiocyanostilbene-2',2'-sulfonic acid almost completely inhibited APs. In summary, our results demonstrate that the rise in [Ca(2+)](i) in sensory neurons by glutamate and capsaicin causes intracellular acidification by activation of PMCA type 3, that the pH(i) recovery from acidification is mediated by membrane transporters NHE1 and pNBC1 specifically, and that the activity of these transporters has direct consequences for neuronal excitability.
