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. Nitric oxide (NO), an inhibitory neurotransmitter released from peripheral neurones, hyperpolarizes smooth muscle cells and inhibits contraction. The mechanism of this hyperpolarization is unknown. 2. We have identified three classes of K+ channels activated by NO and NO donors in colonic smooth muscle cells. NO and NO donors increased the open probability of 80 pS channels (KNO1), very small channels (< 4 pS, KNO2), and 270 pS Ca(2+)-activated K+ channels (BK channels) in cell-attached patches. 3. Dibutyryl cGMP and 8-bromo cGMP also increased the open probability of KNO1 and KNO2 in cell-attached patches. 4. In excised patches of membrane, direct application of NO or the NO donor, S-nitroso-N-acetyl penicillamine (SNAP), increased the open probability of KNO1 and KNO2, but cGMP or dibutyryl cGMP had no effect. SNAP had no effect on the open probability of BK channels in excised patches. 5. The reducing agent dithiothreitol and the alkylating agent N-ethylmaleimide blocked NO-induced channel openings. 6. In summary, the hyperpolarization response to NO in smooth muscles may be mediated by multiple K+ channels. At least two of these classes of channels may be activated by dual pathways involving direct activation by NO and cGMP-mediated mechanisms.
