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

The assembly of high voltage-activated Ca(2+) channels with different β subunits influences channel properties and possibly subcellular targeting. We studied β subunit expression in the somata and axon terminals of the magnocellular neurosecretory cells, which are located in the supraoptic nucleus (SON) and neurohypophysis, respectively. Antibodies directed against the 4 Ca(V)β subunits (Ca(V)β(1)-Ca(V)β(4)) were used for immunoblots and for immunostaining of slices of these two tissues. We found that all 4 β subunits are expressed in both locations, but that Ca(V)β(2) had the highest relative expression in the neurohypophysis. These data suggest that the Ca(V)β(2) subunit is selectively targeted to axon terminals and may play a role in targeting and/or regulating the properties of Ca(2+) channels.
