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

Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) leak determines SR Ca(2+) content and, therefore, the amplitude of global Ca(2+) transients in ventricular myocytes. However, it remains unresolved to what extent Ca(2+) leak can be modulated by cytosolic [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](i)). Here, we studied the effects of [Ca(2+)](i) on SR Ca(2+) leak in permeabilized rabbit ventricular myocytes. Using confocal microscopy we monitored SR Ca(2+) leak as the change in [Ca(2+)](SR) (with Fluo-5N) after complete SERCA inhibition with thapsigargin (10 μm). Increasing [Ca(2+)](i) from 150 to 250 nM significantly increased SR Ca(2+) leak over the entire range of [Ca(2+)](SR). This increase was associated with an augmentation of both Ca(2+) spark- and non-spark-mediated Ca(2+) leak. Further increasing [Ca(2+)](i) to 350 nM led to rapid [Ca](2+)](SR) depletion due to the occurrence of Ca(2+) waves. The augmentation of SR Ca(2+) leak by high [Ca(2+)](i) was insensitive to inhibition of Ca(2+)-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. In contrast, lowering [Ca(2+)](i) to 50 nM markedly decreased SR Ca(2+) leak rate and nearly abolished Ca(2+) sparks. When the ryanodine receptor (RyR) was completely inhibited with ruthenium red (50 μM), changes in [Ca(2+)](i) between 50 and 350 nM did not produce any significant effect on SR Ca(2+) leak, indicating that [Ca(2+)](i) alters SR Ca(2+) leak solely by regulating RyR activity. In summary, [Ca(2+)](i) in the range of 50-350 nM has a significant effect on SR Ca(2+) leak rate mainly via direct regulation of RyR activity. As RyR activity depends highly on [Ca(2+)](i) and [Ca(2+)](SR), SR Ca(2+) leak remains relatively constant during the declining phase of the Ca(2+) transient when [Ca(2+)](SR) and [Ca(2+)](i) change in opposite directions.
