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

rationaleIn ventricular myocytes of large mammals, not all ryanodine receptor (RyR) clusters are associated with T-tubules (TTs); this fraction increases with cellular remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI).

objectiveTo characterize RyR functional properties in relation to TT proximity, at baseline and after MI.

methodsMyocytes were isolated from left ventricle of healthy pigs (CTRL) or from the area adjacent to a myocardial infarction (MI). Ca(2+) transients were measured under whole-cell voltage clamp during confocal linescan imaging (fluo-3) and segmented according to proximity of TTs (sites of early Ca(2+) release, F>F(50) within 20 ms) or their absence (delayed areas). Spontaneous Ca(2+) release events during diastole, Ca(2+) sparks, reflecting RyR activity and properties, were subsequently assigned to either category.

resultsIn CTRL, spark frequency was higher in proximity of TTs, but spark duration was significantly shorter. Block of Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) prolonged spark duration selectively near TTs, while block of Ca(2+) influx via Ca(2+) channels did not affect sparks properties. In MI, total spark mass was increased in line with higher SR Ca(2+) content. Extremely long sparks (>47.6 ms) occurred more frequently. The fraction of near-TT sparks was reduced; frequency increased mainly in delayed sites. Increased duration was seen in near-TT sparks only; Ca(2+) removal by NCX at the membrane was significantly lower in MI.

conclusionTT proximity modulates RyR cluster properties resulting in intracellular heterogeneity of diastolic spark activity. Remodeling in the area adjacent to MI differentially affects these RyR subpopulations. Reduction of the number of sparks near TTs and reduced local NCX removal limit cellular Ca(2+) loss and raise SR Ca(2+) content, but may promote Ca(2+) waves.
