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. Truncated salamander rod photoreceptors were internally perfused to investigate the action of cytoplasmic Ca2+ on cGMP-activated channels in the outer segment. 2. Switching from 1 microM Ca2+ to 0 Ca2+ increased the cGMP-activated current by a factor of 7.1 +/- 0.5 when measured in the first 60 s after the outer segment was opened to the bath, but only 2-fold after 5 min or more. This was attributed to the loss from the outer segment of a soluble factor required for Ca2+ to inhibit the cGMP-activated channel. 3. Short exposures to 0 Ca2+ caused an irreversible increase in the cGMP-activated current measured in 1 microM Ca2+, indicating that lowering [Ca2+] accelerated the loss of the channel inhibitor from the outer segment. 4. Channel activation occurred with a half-time of 6.7 s on switching to 0 Ca2+. Replacing 1 microM Ca2+ inhibited the current again with a half-time of 11.0 s. 5. The inhibition of the cGMP-activated current by Ca2+ could be described by a Hill curve with half-maximal suppression at 55 +/- 13 nM Ca2+ and a Hill coefficient of 1.4 +/- 0.4. 6. Addition of calmodulin (1 microM), or the calmodulin inhibitors mastoparan and calmidazolium (5 microM), did not alter the action of Ca2+ on the cGMP-activated current. 7. The increased affinity of the cGMP-activated channels in response to a fall in [Ca2+] has the magnitude, speed and Ca2+ dependence to suggest that it will promote recovery of the cGMP-activated current in response to the light-induced fall in [Ca2+] that normally occurs inside the outer segment.
