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

We used the patch-clamp technique to study the voltage-dependent properties of the swelling-activated Cl- current (ICl,swell) in BC3H1 myoblasts. This Cl- current is outwardly rectifying and exhibits time-dependent inactivation at positive potentials (potential for half-maximal inactivation of +75 mV). Single-channel Cl- currents with similar voltage-dependent characteristics could be measured in outside-out patches pulled from swollen cells. The estimated single-channel slope conductance in the region between +60 and +140 mV was 47 pS. The time course of inactivation was well described by a double exponential function, with a voltage-independent fast time constant (approximately 60 ms) and a voltage-dependent slow time constant (>200 ms). Recovery from inactivation, which occurred over the physiological voltage range, was also well described by a double exponential function, with a voltage-dependent fast time constant (10-80 ms) and a voltage-dependent slow time constant (>100 ms). The inactivation process was significantly accelerated by reducing the pH, increasing the Mg2+ concentration or reducing the Cl- concentration of the extracellular solution. Replacing extracellular Cl- by other permeant anions shifted the inactivation curve in parallel with their relative permeabilities (SCN- > I- > NO3- > Cl- >> gluconate). A leftward shift of the inactivation curve could also be induced by channel blockers. Additionally, the permeant anion and the channel blockers, but not external pH or Mg2+, modulated the recovery from inactivation. In conclusion, our results show that the voltage-dependent properties of ICl,swell are strongly influenced by external pH, external divalent cations, and by the nature of the permeant anion.
