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. Dopamine modulation of the PL-type calcium channel of white bass retinal horizontal cells was studied in isolated, cultured neurons. Single-channel recordings were made of calcium channels in outside-out patches, under conditions which favoured the expression of calcium channel activity. 2. Analysis of single-channel properties revealed that dopamine potentiated the activity of the sustained calcium channel in three ways. First, it increased unitary conductance through individual channels. Under the influence of dopamine, single-channel conductance doubled. 3. Dopamine also increased the probability of channel opening and increased channel mean open time. The probability of opening increased 4-fold while mean open time doubled. 4. The mean closed time was also affected. The time between individual openings was not affected but the closed time between bursts of openings was shortened by over 50%. 5. The effects of dopamine were mediated via the activation of a D1-type receptor and the resulting activation of a cAMP-mediated second messenger system. 6. The combination of the effects of dopamine significantly increased the net calcium influx into the cell.
