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

Ca current (ICa) was measured by whole-cell voltage clamp in single cells isolated from frog ventricle, in which the Na current was inhibited by tetrodotoxin (0.3 microM) and K currents were blocked by substituting K with 120 mM intracellular and 20 mM extracellular Cs. The influence of stimulation by ATP (0.1-100 microM) was assessed in the presence of propranolol (1 microM) or pindolol (0.1 microM), prazozin (0.1 microM) and atropine (10 microM). ATP, in the micromolar range, had two types of effect. Like other P1-purinoagonists, it antagonized the increase in ICa elicited by beta-adrenostimulation. When added alone, 1 microM ATP could increase ICa up to twofold. An increase in ICa was also observed even after it had been maximally enhanced by intracellularly applied cAMP (50 microM). Voltage dependence and kinetics of ICa were not affected. These effects were considered to be related to P2-purinoceptor activation. At higher ATP concentrations the increase in ICa was less; at 100 microM, ATP reduced ICa. The ATP-induced increase in ICa was prevented by internal perfusion of the cells with GDP [beta-S] or neomycin, respectively, to block signal transduction to phospholipase C or its phosphodiesterase activity on the polyphosphoinositides. We conclude that P2-purinoceptor stimulation increases the Ca current in frog ventricular cells by a pathway that might involve phosphoinositide turnover.
