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

Malignant hyperthermia (MH), an inherited neuromuscular disease triggered by halogenated inhalational anaesthetics and skeletal-muscle relaxants, appears to be due to an alteration of intracellular Ca2+ homoeostasis. MH occurs in 1 out of 20,000 anaesthetized adults and is characterized by hypermetabolism, skeletal-muscle rigidity and elevation in body temperature, which is frequently fatal [MacLennan and Phillips (1992) Science 256, 789-794]. The defect responsible for the disease may lie within the mechanism controlling the release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum via the ryanodine-receptor (RYR) Ca2+ channel; in fact a point mutation in the RYR has been associated with MH in some human families, as well as in the MH-susceptible pig. To date, however, no direct evidence has been obtained demonstrating that the point mutation is both necessary and sufficient to cause functional alterations in RYR-mediated Ca2+ release. In the present report we show that the presence of the Arg-to-Cys point mutation in the recombinant RYR expressed in COS-7 transfected cells causes abnormal cytosolic Ca2+ transients in response to 4-chloro-m-cresol, an agent capable of eliciting in vitro contracture of MH-susceptible muscles.
