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 mammalian gastrointestinal myocytes, it is known that muscarinic stimulation activates nonselective cation channels through a G-protein and a Ca2+-dependent pathway. We recorded inward cationic currents following application of carbachol (ICCh) to guinea-pig gastric myocytes, which were held at -20 mV using the whole-cell patch-clamp method. ICCh was suppressed by nicardipine or removal of Ca2+ from the bath solution. The peak value of inward current induced by repetitive applications of carbachol (CCh) decreased progressively (run-down phenomenon). This run-down was significantly alleviated by the addition of calmodulin to the pipette solution (0.15 mg/ml) or by using the perforated-patch whole-cell voltage-clamp technique. Moreover, W-7[N-6(aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulphonamide], a calmodulin antagonist, was a reversible inhibitor of ICCh. However, @-7 had only a weak inhibitory effect on the same cationic current which was induced by guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP¿gammaS] 0.2 mM) in the pipette solution. This GTP[gammaS]-induced cationic current was still markedly suppressed by the Ca2+-free bath solution. W-7 itself had a weak inhibitory effect on voltage-operated Ca2+ channels as well as the effects on ICCh. These data suggest that multiple Ca2+-dependent pathways are involved in the activation of CCh-gated cation channels in guinea-pig antral myocytes and a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent pathway would be one of them.
