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

Cardiac muscarinic receptors activate an inwardly rectifying K+ channel, IK+Ach, via pertussis toxin (PT)-sensitive heterotrimeric G proteins (in heart Gi2, Gi3, or Go). We have used embryonic stem cell (ES cell)-derived cardiocytes with targeted inactivations of specific PT-sensitive alpha subunits to determine which G proteins are required for receptor-mediated regulation of IK+Ach in intact cells. The muscarinic agonist carbachol increased IK+Ach activity in ES cell-derived cardiocytes from wild-type cells, in cells lacking alphao, and in cells lacking the PT-insensitive G protein alphaq. In cells with targeted inactivation of alphai2 or alphai3, channel activation by both carbachol and adenosine was blocked. Carbachol-induced channel activation was restored in the alphai2- and alphai3-null cells by reexpressing the previously targeted gene and guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio] triphosphate was able to fully activate IK+Ach in excised membranes patches from these mutants. In contrast, negative chronotropic responses to both carbachol and adenosine were preserved in cells lacking alphai2 or alphai3. Our results show that expression of two specific PT-sensitive alpha subunits (alphai2 and alphai3 but not alphao) is required for normal agonist-dependent activation of IK+Ach and suggest that both alphai2- and alphai3-containing heterotrimeric G proteins may be involved in the signaling process. Also the generation of negative chronotropic responses to muscarinic or adenosine receptor agonists do not require activation of IK+Ach or the expression of alphai2 or alphai3.
