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

In the presence of Zn2+ (0.3 mM), carbachol (10(-6) M) or histamine (10(-5) M) induced the phasic response in guinea-pig taenia caeci while the tonic response was markedly inhibited. However, when the muscles were kept in Zn(2+)-containing medium following the first stimulation with either carbachol or histamine, neither application of carbachol nor of histamine elicited another phasic contraction. Caffeine (25 mM) did not induce contraction in the presence of Zn2+. After the washing out of caffeine in the presence of Zn2+, however, the muscle did then develop the phasic response on the application of carbachol or histamine. In conclusion, Zn2+ did not affect the carbachol or histamine-induced Ca2+ release from the storage sites. However, when Zn2+ was continuously present, Ca2+ was not supplied to the storage sites. Furthermore, carbachol and histamine mobilized a common cellular Ca2+ store, but they activated Ca2+ release channels different from the ones activated by caffeine in the Ca2+ storage sites.
