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. The effects of quinine and quinidine on the volume-activated chloride current (ICl(vol)) in cultured endothelial cells from bovine pulmonary artery were studied by use of the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. 2. At pH 7.4 both quinine and quinidine induced a fast and reversible block of ICl(vol)) with Ki values of 20 +/- 4 microM and 30 +/- 10 microM, respectively. 3. The blocking efficiency of both drugs increased dramatically with increasing extracellular pH, indicating that the blockade is mediated by the uncharged form of quinine and quinidine. 4. These results suggest a hydrophobic interaction with high affinity between volume-activated chloride channels and uncharged quinine and quinidine within the membrane bilayer of endothelial cells.
