Voltage-dependent potassium currents in feline sino-atrial node myocytes.

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.
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
We characterized the properties of the voltage-dependent K(+) currents I (to), I (Kr), and I (Ks) in isolated feline sino-atrial node (SAN) myocytes. I (to) activated rapidly and then inactivated with a single exponential and voltage-independent time course. Recovery from inactivation of I (to) followed a single exponential time course with τ = 21.1 ± 2.5 ms, at -80 mV. Steady-state inactivation relationship showed a V½ of inactivation at -47.9 ± 2.3 mV. These biophysical properties are similar to the fast I (to) phenotype of other mammals. I (Kr) exhibited typical negative slope conductance at test potentials > 0 mV and slow deactivation. I (Ks) activated very slowly. The functional contribution of I (to), I (Kr), and I (Ks) to the sustained pacemaking activity of feline SAN myocytes was analyzed. Similar to other mammals, I (to) underlies the initial repolarization phase of the SAN action potential, whereas I (Kr) and I (Ks) mediate repolarization back to the maximal diastolic potential. I (Kr) and I (Ks) also contribute to diastolic depolarization because of their slow deactivation kinetics. The I (Kr) specific blocker E-4031 and the I (Ks) blocker HMR 1556 significantly increased action potential duration, but had negligible effects on the maximum diastolic potential and only modest effects on the frequency of spontaneous activity, suggesting that each one of these two currents itself is capable of supporting action potential repolarization in the feline sinus node.
