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

We model the space between the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (JSR) membrane and the inner leaflet of the transverse tubular ("T") sarcolemmal (SL) membrane, the diadic cleft, with respect to calcium (Ca) concentration and movement. The model predicts the following: 1) Ca influx via the "L" channel increases [Ca] to 1 microM within a distance of 50 nm from the channel mouth in < 500 microseconds. This is sufficient to trigger Ca release from a domain of 9 "feet." 2) By contrast, "reverse" Na/Ca exchange will increase [Ca] to approximately 0.5 microM throughout the cleft space in 10 ms, sufficient to trigger Ca release, but clearly to a lesser extent and more slowly than the channel. 3) After a 20-ms JSR release into the cleft via the "feet" [Ca] peaks at 600 microM (cleft center) to 100 microM (cleft periphery) and then declines to diastolic level (100 nM) within 150 ms throughout the cleft. 4) The ratio of flux out of the cleft via Na/Ca exchange to flux out of the cleft to the cytosol varies inversely as JSR Ca release. 5) Removal of SL anionic Ca-binding sites from the model will cause [Ca] to fall to 100 nM throughout the cleft in < 1 ms after JSR release ceases. This markedly reduces Na/Ca exchange. 6) Removal from or decreased concentration of Na/Ca exchangers in the cleft will cause [Ca] to fall too slowly after JSR release to permit triggered release upon subsequent excitation.
