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

In a previous article (Escande et al. 1988a), we have shown that cromakalim (BRL 34915), a potassium channel opener (PCO), is a potent activator of ATP-sensitive K+ channels in cardiac cells. In the present article, the influence on K+ channels of two other potassium channel openers chemically unrelated to cromakalim, RP 49356 and pinacidil, has been investigated in patch-clamped isolated cardiac myocytes. In the whole-cell configuration, K+ currents were recorded in the presence of 50 microM TTX and 3 microM nitrendipine or 3 mM cobalt. Like cromakalim, RP 49356 or pinacidil activated a time-independent outward current at 33-35 degrees C but not at 19-21 degrees C, which showed little voltage-dependency in the potential range -60 to +60 mV. Its amplitude was a function of the agonist concentration, e.g. it was 2.1 +/- 0.4 nA at +60 mV with 30 microM RP 49356 and 4.3 +/- 0.8 nA with 300 microM. In control conditions, glibenclamide, a blocker of K+-ATP channels in pancreatic and heart cells, affected neither the inward rectifier, iK1, nor the delayed K+ current, iK. At 3 microM, glibenclamide fully prevented the effects of 300 microM RP 49356 or pinacidil. At lower concentrations, glibenclamide partially counteracted the activation by PCOs of a K+ current. In the cell-attached configuration, externally applied RP 49356 or pinacidil caused opening of large channels which reversed around O mV in a high K+ external medium. In inside-out patches, both RP 49356 or pinacidil activated K+-ATP channels by increasing the time period for which the channels remained in the open state. It is concluded that, like cromakalim, RP 49356 and pinacidil are potent activators of K+-ATP channels in cardiac myocytes.
