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

Under physiological conditions, nonselective cation (NSC) channels mediate the entry of cations into cells, the most important being Na+ and Ca2+. In contrast to the Ca(2+)-dependent signaling mechanisms, little is known about the consequences and the spatial distribution of intracellular [Na+] elevation. In this study we demonstrate that Na+ entry, during the opening of ATP-activated NSC channels, leads to an inhibition of voltage-dependent K+ currents (IK) in cromaffin-like undifferentiated PC-12 cells. The effect was dependent on the charge carrier as well as on the density of the ATP-activated current. Extracellular alkali cations (Na+, Li+) were more efficient than NH4+ in suppressing IK. Intracellular infusion of Na+ had the same effect as Na+ influx through ATP-activated NSC channels. The inhibition of IK persisted when the total ATP-induced Na+ entry was reduced by membrane depolarization, suggesting a spatial restriction of the required Na+ accumulation. Our results indicate that NSC channels influence the function of other ion channels by changing local intracellular ion concentrations.
