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

background and purposeNa(+) /HCO(3) (-) co-transport (NBC) regulates intracellular pH (pH(i) ) in the heart. We have studied the electrogenic NBC isoform NBCe1 by examining the effect of functional antibodies to this protein. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: We generated two antibodies against putative extracellular loop domains 3 (a-L3) and 4 (a-L4) of NBCe1 which recognized NBCe1 on immunoblots and immunostaining experiments. pH(i) was monitored using epi-fluorescence measurements in cat ventricular myocytes. Transport activity of total NBC and of NBCe1 in isolation were evaluated after an ammonium ion-induced acidosis (expressed as H(+) flux, J(H) , in mmol·L(-1)  min(-1) at pH(i) 6.8) and during membrane depolarization with high extracellular potassium (potassium pulse, expressed as ΔpH(i) ) respectively. KEY

resultsThe potassium pulse produced a pH(i) increase of 0.18 ± 0.006 (n= 5), which was reduced by the a-L3 antibody (0.016 ± 0.019). The a-L-3 also decreased J(H) by 50%. Surprisingly, during the potassium pulse, a-L4 induced a higher pH(i) increase than control,(0.25 ± 0.018) whereas the recovery of pH(i) from acidosis was faster (J(H) was almost double the control value). In perforated-patch experiments, a-L3 prolonged and a-L4 shortened action potential duration, consistent with blockade and stimulation of NBCe1-carried anionic current respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Both antibodies recognized NBCe1, but they had opposing effects on the function of this transporter, as the a-L3 was inhibitory and the a-L4 was excitatory. These antibodies could be valuable in studies on the pathophysiology of NBCe1 in cardiac tissue, opening a path for their potential clinical use.
