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

1. Whole-cell voltage-dependent Ca2+ currents recorded from chemoreceptor type I cells of the adult rat carotid body had maximum amplitudes of -94 pA in 10 mM Ca2+ and were half-inactivated at a holding potential of -38 mV. Somatostatin and dopamine inhibited whole-cell Ca2+ current in type I cells. 2. The dihydropyridine agonist (+)202-791 increased the Ca2+ current amplitude by 106% at a step potential of -18 mV. The dihydropyridine antagonist nimodipine decreased the Ca2+ current amplitude by 40% from a holding potential of -80 mV, and by 74% from a holding potential of -60 mV. The nimodipine-sensitive current had a maximum amplitude at a membrane potential of -12 mV. omega-Conotoxin GVIA (omega-CgTX GVIA) blocked the whole-cell Ca2+ current by 40%. The omega-CgTX GVIA-sensitive current had a maximum amplitude at a membrane potential of +2 mV. 3. In summary, type I cells of the adult rat carotid body have dihydropyridine-sensitive L-type and omega-conotoxin GVIA-sensitive N-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels. These channels may play a role in the voltage-gated entry of Ca2+ necessary for stimulus-secretion coupling in response to changes in arterial PO2, PCO2 and pH. Inhibition of the Ca2+ currents by somatostatin and dopamine may alter the chemotransduction signal in type I cells.
