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. The effects of purinoceptor antagonists on ATP-induced oscillatory K(+)-currents in rat isolated megakaryocytes were investigated. 2. Both reactive blue-2 (RB-2), a selective antagonist of the P2Y purinoceptor, purinoceptor, at concentrations of 0.3-10 microM and suramin, a non-selective P2 purinoceptor antagonist, at 1-30 microM blocked the ATP-induced oscillation in a concentration-dependent manner. 3. RB-2 and suramin also blocked the ADP-induced K(+)-current oscillation at the same concentration range as in the case of ATP. However, both suramin and RB-2 had no effect on thrombin- and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-induced K+ current oscillation, indicating that they act as specific purinoceptor antagonists. 4. Thus, the purinoceptors on megakaryocytes show the properties of the P2 subtype according to their blockade by antagonists.
