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

1. Ryanodine receptor-mediated Ca2+ release was investigated in Purkinje neurones of rat cerebellar slices by using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings combined with fluorometric digital imaging of cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). 2. Caffeine caused a transient increase in [Ca2+]i in the somata and dendrites of Purkinje neurones. Caffeine-induced Ca2+ transients were not associated with a membrane inward current and persisted in Ca(2+)-free external solutions, indicating that they are caused by Ca2+ released from intracellular stores. The amplitudes of the caffeine-mediated elevations in [Ca2+]i were strongly dependent on the baseline level of [Ca2+]i. 3. Intracellular application of Ruthenium Red through the patch pipette blocked caffeine-induced Ca2+ transients in Purkinje neurones. Ryanodine when applied either intra- or extracellularly caused a use-dependent block of caffeine-induced Ca2+ release. 4. Depolarization-induced Ca2+ transients were strongly prolonged by caffeine. Several lines of evidence suggest that these prolongations reflect Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release. 5. Despite the presence of skeletal muscle type ryanodine receptors in Purkinje neurones, depolarizing pulses failed to induce any changes in [Ca2+]i when the influx of Ca2+ through voltage-gated channels was prevented by using Ca(2+)-free solution, or when applying blockers of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. 6. Dendritic Ca2+ transients produced by stimulation of the excitatory climbing fibre synaptic input were also prolonged by caffeine, indicating that ryanodine receptor-mediated release of Ca2+ may be involved in synaptic signalling in cerebellar Purkinje neurones. 7. Ryanodine receptor-mediated release of Ca2+ in cerebellar Purkinje neurones can be explained by a model in which release of Ca2+ is strongly facilitated by the co-operative action of Ca2+, caffeine and/or ryanodine. Our results suggest that Ca2+ release in these central neurones becomes prominent only during episodes of intensive electrical activity associated with increased Ca2+ entry.
