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

Calcium entry into excitable cells through voltage-gated calcium channels can be influenced by both the rate and pattern of action potentials. We report here that a cloned neuronal alpha 1C L-type calcium channel can be facilitated by positive pre-depolarization. Both calcium and barium were effective as charge carriers in eliciting voltage-dependent facilitation. The induction of facilitation was shown to be independent of intracellular calcium levels, G-protein interaction and the level of phosphatase activity. Facilitation was reduced by the injection of inhibitors of protein kinase A and required the coexpression of a calcium channel beta subunit. In contrast, three neuronal non-L-type calcium channels, alpha 1A, alpha 1B and alpha 1E, were not subject to voltage-dependent facilitation when coexpressed with a beta subunit. The results indicate that the mechanism of neuronal L-type calcium channel facilitation involves the interaction of alpha 1 and beta subunits and is dependent on protein kinase A activity. The selective voltage-dependent modulation of L-type calcium channels is likely to play an important role in neuronal physiology and plasticity.
