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

background and purposeThe Slo3 potassium (K EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: We used molecular cloning, electrophysiology (inside-out patches and outside-out patches) and mutagenesis to investigate the biophysical properties and pharmacological characteristics of the rSlo3 channel. KEY

resultsThe rat Slo3 channel (rSlo3) is gated by voltage and cytosolic pH rather than intracellular calcium. The characteristics of voltage-dependent, pH-sensitivity and activation kinetics of the rSlo3 channel differ from the characteristics of other Slo3 orthologues. In terms of pharmacology, the 4-AP blockade of the rSlo3 channel also shows properties distinct from its blockade of the mSlo3 channel. Iberiotoxin and progesterone weakly inhibit the rSlo3 channel. Finally, we found that propofol, one of the widely used general anaesthetics, blocks the rSlo3 channel from both intracellular and extracellular sides, whereas ketamine only blocks the rSlo3 channel at the extracellular side. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Our findings suggest that the rSlo3 channel possesses unique biophysical and pharmacological properties. Our results provide new insights into the diversities of the Slo3 family of channels, which are valuable for estimating the effects of the use of these drugs to improve sperm quality.
