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 has recently been shown that various stress-inducing manipulations in isolated ventricular myocytes may lead to significant remodelling of t-tubules. Osmotic stress is one of the most common complications in various experimental and clinical settings. This study was therefore designed to determine the effects of a physiologically relevant type of osmotic stress, hyposmotic challenge, to the integrity of the t-tubular system in mouse ventricular myocytes using the following two approaches: (1) electrophysiological measurements of membrane capacitance and inward rectifier (IK1) tail currents originating from K(+) accumulation in t-tubules; and (2) confocal microscopy of fluorescent dextrans trapped in sealed t-tubules. Importantly, we found that removal of '0.6 Na' (60% NaCl) hyposmotic solution, but not its application to myocytes, led to a ∼27% reduction in membrane capacitance, a ∼2.5-fold reduction in the amplitude of the IK1 tail current and a ∼2-fold reduction in the so-called IK1 'inactivation' (due to depletion of t-tubular K(+)) at negative membrane potentials; all these data were consistent with significant detubulation. Confocal imaging experiments also demonstrated that extracellularly applied dextrans become trapped in sealed t-tubules only upon removal of hyposmotic solutions, i.e. during the shrinking phase, but not during the initial swelling period. In light of these data, relevant previous studies, including those on excitation-contraction coupling phenomena during hyposmotic stress, may need to be reinterpreted, and the experimental design of future experiments should take into account the novel findings.
