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. After blocking both the hyperpolarization-activated current and the membrane K+ conductance, depolarizations from -80 mV to between -70 and -50 mV induced a sustained current in sino-atrial node cells. We have tentatively designated this current Ist. 2. Ist was blocked by both organic and inorganic Ca2+ channel blockers, but was insensitive to tetrodotoxin (30 microM). Isoprenaline increased Ist. 3. The peak of Ist (at about -50 mV) was increased to 149 +/- 13% (n = 8, P < 0.01) by lowering the external Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]o) from 1.8 to 0.1 mM, in contrast to the marked depression of the L-type Ca2+ current. In 0.1 mM [Ca2+]o solution, the nicardipine-sensitive current-voltage relation showed the peak amplitude at about -50 mV and a reversal potential of +37.4 +/- 4.4 mV (n = 5). The isoprenaline-sensitive component also showed a reversal potential of about +30 mV. 4. Reducing [Na+]o from 140 to 70 mM in 0.1 mM [Ca2+]o decreased Ist to 53 +/- 5% (n = 7, P < 0.01). Increasing [Ca2+]o or [Mg2+]o decreased the amplitude of Ist. The half-maximum concentration of Mg2+ inhibition was 2.2 mM. 5. At 1.8 mM [Ca2+]o, Ist was inactivated by clamping for 5s at -10 mV, and gradually recovered after repolarization to -80 mV with a half-time of 1.36 +/- 0.4 s (n = 6). 6. The transitional sino-atrial node cell had minimal amplitude of Ist. 7. These characteristics of Ist are qualitatively comparable to those of the monovalent cation conductance of the L-type Ca2+ channel induced by depleting external divalent cations to the micromolar range. We conclude that Ist is generated by a novel subtype of L-type Ca2+ channel.
