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

Membrane Ca currents were recorded from voltage-clamped clonal (GH3) pituitary cells under conditions where currents through Na and K channels were abolished. Two Ca currents, with distinct kinetics and voltage dependence for activation and inactivation, were identified. Neomycin, an aminoglycoside polycation, inhibited both the "transient" (ICa,t) and the "slowly-inactivating" (ICa,s) Ca currents in a dose-dependent manner (100-1,000 microM). The blockade was reversible and ICa,s was more sensitive to neomycin than ICa,t. The inhibition of ICa,s was frequency and time-independent, and was not affected by changes in the holding membrane potential (-35 to -100 mV). Neomycin did not affect the voltage dependence for inactivation of ICa,t. The blockade of both Ca currents by neomycin is ascribed to the general property of aminoglycosides to compete with, and displace Ca ions from membrane binding sites that determine the currents and selectivity of Ca channels. Because comparable concentrations of neomycin were required for blocking the currents conveyed by Ca or, in the absence of external divalent cations, by Na ions through the slowly-inactivating Ca channels, we suggest that the neomycin binding sites are distinct from the high-affinity transition sites within the Ca channel path.
