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

Spontaneous inward and outward currents were studied with perforated patch recording in freshly dispersed rabbit pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. With physiological potassium concentrations, spontaneous outward and inward currents were recorded at negative membrane potentials. Ion substitution experiments revealed that the outward and inward currents were respectively potassium and chloride conductance increases. Both conductances were abolished by bath application of caffeine (2-10 mM), which releases calcium from internal stores. The rise time and half-decay time of spontaneous potassium currents were both about 25 ms. The spontaneous chloride current has a rise time of 30 ms and decayed exponentially with a time constant (tau) of 70 ms at -50 mV. The tau value was increased by depolarization and increased e-fold for a change of 99 mV in membrane potential. In every cell examined when the spontaneous currents occurred as biphasic events, typically between -20 mV and -40 mV, outward currents preceded inward currents in over 90% of these events whereas the inward current always preceded the outward current in caffeine- and noradrenaline-evoked responses. An explanation for these data is that there may be localization of some chloride channels with respect to the caffeine-sensitive calcium store.
