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

Calcium is an ambivalent signal: it is essential for the correct functioning of cell life, but may also become dangerous to it. The plasma membrane Ca(2+) ATPase (PMCA) and the plasma membrane Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) are the two mechanisms responsible for Ca(2+) extrusion. The NCX has low Ca(2+) affinity but high capacity for Ca(2+) transport, whereas the PMCA has a high Ca(2+) affinity but low transport capacity for it. Thus, traditionally, the PMCA pump has been attributed a housekeeping role in maintaining cytosolic Ca(2+), and the NCX the dynamic role of counteracting large cytosolic Ca(2+) variations (especially in excitable cells). This view of the roles of the two Ca(2+) extrusion systems has been recently revised, as the specific functional properties of the numerous PMCA isoforms and splicing variants suggests that they may have evolved to cover both the basal Ca(2+) regulation (in the 100 nM range) and the Ca(2+) transients generated by cell stimulation (in the μM range).
