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 effect of removing extracellular divalent cations on resting potential (Vrest) and background conductance of rat cardiac muscle was studied. Vrest was measured with 3 M KCl-filled microelectrodes in papillary muscles, or with a patch electrode in ventricular myocytes. Whole-cell membrane currents were measured in myocytes using step or ramp voltage commands. 2. In both muscles and single cells, decrease or removal of Ca2+o and Mg2+o caused a nifedipine-resistant depolarization, which was reversed upon readmission of Ca2+o or Mg2+o (half-maximal effect at 0.8 mM Ca2+o or 3 mM Mg2+o in muscles). 3. In single myocytes, removal of Ca2+o and Mg2+o had no effect on the seal resistance in nonruptured cell-attached recordings, but reversibly induced a current with a reversal potential (Vrev) of -8 +/- 3.4 mV (with internal Cs+; mean +/- S.E.M., n = 23) during whole-cell recordings. The current was insensitive to nifedipine (3-100 microM) or amiloride (1 mM). Vrev was insensitive to changes in the equilibrium potential for chloride ions (ECl). 4. The current induced in the absence of extracellular divalent cations was blocked in a concentration-dependent manner by Ca2+o. (At -80 mV, the affinity constant KCa was 60 microM with a Hill coefficient of 0.9) KCa was voltage dependent at positive but not negative potentials. Mg2+o, Ni2+o, Sr2+o, Ba2+o, Cd2+o and Gd3+o also blocked the current. 5. In 0 mM Na+ (145 mM NMDG+), the inward component of the divalent cation-sensitive current was decreased and Vrev shifted to more negative potentials. 6. These results suggest that a novel conductance pathway, permeable to monovalent cations but not to Cl- and blocked by divalent cations, exists in ventricular myocytes.
