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 cardiac voltage gated Ca(2+) current (ICa) is critical to the electrophysiological properties, excitation-contraction coupling, mitochondrial energetics, and transcriptional regulation in heart. Thus, it is not surprising that cardiac ICa is regulated by numerous pathways. This review will focus on changes in ICa that occur during the cardiac action potential (AP), with particular attention to Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation (CDI), Ca(2+)-dependent facilitation (CDF) and how calmodulin (CaM) and Ca(2+)-CaM dependent protein kinase (CaMKII) participate in the regulation of Ca(2+) current during the cardiac AP. CDI depends on CaM pre-bound to the C-terminal of the L-type Ca(2+) channel, such that Ca(2+) influx and Ca(2+) released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum bind to that CaM and cause CDI. In cardiac myocytes CDI normally pre-dominates over voltage-dependent inactivation. The decrease in ICa via CDI provides direct negative feedback on the overall Ca(2+) influx during a single beat, when myocyte Ca(2+) loading is high. CDF builds up over several beats, depends on CaMKII-dependent Ca(2+) channel phosphorylation, and results in a staircase of increasing ICa peak, with progressively slower inactivation. CDF and CDI co-exist and in combination may fine-tune the ICa waveform during the cardiac AP. CDF may partially compensate for the tendency for Ca(2+) channel availability to decrease at higher heart rates because of accumulating inactivation. CDF may also allow some reactivation of ICa during long duration cardiac APs, and contribute to early afterdepolarizations, a form of triggered arrhythmias.
