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 studied the role of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) as a mediator of the reduction of L-type calcium current (ICa) induced by muscarinic receptor stimulation and by nitric oxide in isolated guinea-pig ventricular cells using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Our results show that when the level of cyclic adenosine monophosphate was increased by the phosphodiesterase inhibitor isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX), stimulation of a pertussis-toxin (PTX)-sensitive muscarinic receptor by carbachol (1 microM) reduced the calcium current increase from 80.6 +/- 23.5% to 19.8 +/- 9.6% over the control and this effect was prevented by methylene blue (10 microM), an inhibitor of the soluble guanylate cyclase. Pipette solution containing 10 microM cGMP reduced the enhancement of ICa by IBMX from 121.9 +/- 11.6% to 14.2 +/- 5.4% above the control. Sodium nitroprusside (10 microM), a spontaneous donor of nitric oxide, and consequently a stimulator of soluble guanylate cyclase, also reduced IBMX-stimulated ICa from 115.2 +/- 13.2% to 32.2 +/- 6.9% above control and the sodium nitroprusside effect was also suppressed by methylene blue. The latter two reagents were ineffective on basal ICa.
