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 the present work, applying the whole-cell patch-clamp technique in voltage clamp mode, we have investigated the effects of different drugs, such as riluzole, Psora-4 and Tram-34, on the potassium currents in four human lymphoma cell lines. We focused on outward currents mediated by two potassium channels (Kv1.3 and KCa3.1), which are known to play a key physiological role in lymphoid cells. The currents were evoked by voltage ramps ranging from -120 mV to +40 mV and the conductance of the two potassium channels was measured between +20 mV and +40 mV, both in the absence and in the presence of the specific blockers Psora-4 (Kv1.3; 1 µM) and Tram-34 (KCa3.1; 1 µM). The effect of the latter was tested after KCa3.1 channels were activated by riluzole 10 µM. Taken together, these data could be useful as an indication of the functional characteristics of the potassium channels in human lymphomas and represent a starting point for the study of potassium conductance in cellular models of these tumors.
