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

Effects of 2,3-butanedione-2-monoxime (BDM) on the contraction of intact and skinned smooth muscles from guinea-pig portal vein were examined. In intact preparations loaded with fura-2, 5-10 mM BDM markedly suppressed Ca2+ transients and force developments induced by 154 mM potassium and by phenylephrine (0.1 mM). On the other hand, in Ca(2+)-free depolarizing solution, BDM did not suppress phenylephrine (0.1 mM)-induced Ca2+ transient and force development. In skinned preparations obtained with Staphylococcus aureus alpha-toxin treatment, BDM did not markedly affect active force development. The above results indicate that BDM suppresses contraction of the portal vein mainly by the inhibition of voltage-dependent cytosolic Ca2+ transients. An additional result suggests that BDM suppresses the force-enhancing effect of alpha 1-adrenergic agents on the contractile elements.
