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 ionic permeability of cGMP-dependent currents in membrane patches detached from the outer segment of retinal cone and rod photoreceptors. Reversal potentials measured in membranes exposed to symmetric Na+ but with varying cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentrations reveal that the permeability ratio, PCa/PNa, is higher in the cGMP-gated channels of cones (7.6 +/- 0.8) than in those of rods (3.1 +/- 1.0). Ca2+ blocks both channels in a voltage-dependent manner. At any Ca2+ concentration, the channel block is maximal near the ionic reversal potential. The maximal block is essentially identical in channels of cones and rods with respect to its extent and voltage and Ca2+ dependence. The Ca2+ block is relieved by voltage, but the features of this relief differ markedly between rods and cones. Whereas the Boltzmann distribution function describes the relief of block by hyperpolarizing voltages, any given voltage is more effective in relieving the Ca2+ block in cones than in rods. Similarly, depolarizing voltages more effectively relieve Ca2+ block in cones than in rods. Our results suggest that channels contain two binding sites for Ca2+, one of which is similar in the two receptor types. The second site either interacts more strongly with Ca2+ than the first one or it is located differently in the membrane, so as to be less sensitive to membrane voltage. The channels in rods and cones differ in the features of this second site. The difference in Ca2+ permeability between the channels is likely to result in light-dependent changes in cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration that are larger and faster in cones than in rods. The functional differences between channels, therefore, may be critically important in explaining the differences in the phototransduction signal of the two photoreceptor types.
