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. Regulation of membrane potential by extracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]o) was examined in freshly isolated rabbit osteoclasts. 2. The resting membrane potential of osteoclasts was close to the K+ equilibrium potential in 1 mM Ca2+ medium. An elevation of [Ca2+]o caused membrane depolarization, accompanied by a decrease in the membrane conductance. 3. The inwardly rectifying K+ current observed under voltage clamp was dose-dependently inhibited by an elevation of [Ca2+]o, which explained the membrane depolarization caused by high [Ca2+]o. 4. Other divalent cations also inhibited the inwardly rectifying K+ current with the following order of potency: Ca2+ < Ni2+ < or = Co2+ < Cd2+. 5. In the presence of intracellular GTP gamma S the inwardly rectifying K+ current was irreversibly inhibited by [Ca2+]o, whereas the inhibition of the inwardly rectifying K+ current was greatly attenuated by intracellular application of GDP beta S. 6. Pertussis toxin (PTX) treatment did not abolish the inhibition of the inwardly rectifying K+ current caused by [Ca2+]o. 7. These results suggest that inwardly rectifying K+ channels in osteoclasts were regulated by a PTX-insensitive G-protein, which was coupled to the putative Ca2+ receptor or sensor on the cell membrane.
