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

Hormone and neurotransmitter release from vesicles is mediated by regulated exocytosis, where an aqueous channel-like structure, termed a fusion pore, is formed. It was recently shown that second messenger cAMP modulates the fusion pore, but the detailed mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, we asked whether the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels, which are activated by cAMP, are involved in the regulation of unitary exocytic events. By using the Western blot technique, a real-time PCR, immunocytochemistry in combination with confocal microscopy, and voltage-clamp measurements of hyperpolarizing currents, we show that HCN channels are present in the plasma membrane and in the membrane of secretory vesicles of isolated rat lactotrophs. Single vesicle membrane capacitance measurements of lactotrophs, where HCN channels were either augmented by transfection or blocked with an HCN channel blocker (ZD7288), show modulated fusion pore properties. We suggest that the changes in local cation concentration, mediated through HCN channels, which are located on or near secretory vesicles, have an important role in modulating exocytosis.
