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

It is well known that calcium-induced calcium-release in cardiac myocytes takes place in spatially restricted regions known as dyads, where discrete patches of junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum tightly associate with the t-tubule membrane. The dimensions of a dyad are so small that it contains only a few Ca²⁺ ions at any given time. Ca²⁺ signaling in the dyad is therefore noisy, and dominated by the Brownian motion of Ca²⁺ ions in a potential field. Remarkably, from this complexity emerges the integrated behavior of the myocyte in which, under normal conditions, precise control of Ca²⁺ release and muscle contraction is maintained over the life of the cell. This is but one example of how signal processing within the cardiac myocyte and other cells often occurs in small "nano-domains" where proteins and protein complexes interact at spatial dimensions on the order of ∼1-10 nm and at time-scales on the order of nanoseconds to perform the functions of the cell. In this article, we will review several examples of local signaling in nano-domains, how it contributes to the integrative behavior of the cardiac myocyte, and present computational methods for modeling signal processing within these domains across differing spatio-temporal scales.
