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

We have developed a method of rapidly changing the solutions on one side of a planar phospholipid bilayer. Bilayers can be painted on glass pipettes of tip diameter > or = 50 microns. By modifying an established method for rapid exchange of solutions bathing excised membrane patches, solution changes can be made at the bilayer within 10 ms. After incorporation of channels into the bilayer, the bilayer is moved into one of two parallel streams of solution flowing from a length of double-barrelled glass theta tubing. Activation of a solenoid system rapidly moves the theta tubing so that the bilayer is in the flow of the adjacent solution. For various reasons, the single-channel gating mechanisms of many channels are studied in planar bilayer systems. The conventional bilayer technique only allows for steady-state single-channel gating to be monitored. This novel method now allows the effects of rapid changes in modulators of channels incorporated into planar phospholipid bilayers to be measured.
