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

Effects of okadai acid (OA) on contractile force in rat uterine uterine muscles permeabilized with alpha-toxin were examined. (1) Contractile force activated by Ca2+(10(-6.5) M to 10(-4.4) M) was suppressed by relatively low concentrations of OA (30 to 300 nM). The suppressed force was further decreased after washed out of OA. (2)Addition of 10 microM OA enhanced force. Whereas, the increased tension level fell to less than the control level after washed out of OA. (3)Okadaic acid methyl ester (methyl okadaate), an OA derivative without protein phosphatase inhibition, did not affect contraction. These results suggest that the force-inhibiting effect of OA is a result of interference with contractile elements through inhibition of protein phosphatases (PPs) activity.
