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

Mobile Ca2+ buffers in hair cells have been postulated to play a dual role. On one hand, they carry incoming Ca2+ away from synaptic areas, allowing synapses to be rapidly reset. On the other hand, they limit the spread of free Ca2+ into the cell, preventing cross-talk between different pathways that employ Ca2+ as a second messenger. We have obtained evidence for such mobile Ca2+ buffers in hair cells by comparing the patterns of Ca2+-induced fluo-3 fluorescence under whole-cell and perforated-patch recording conditions. Fluorescent signals under perforated-patch conditions are relatively weak and are limited to the immediate vicinity of the membrane. These observations can be explained by a diffusion-reaction scheme that, in addition to Ca2+ and fluo-3, incorporates endogenous fixed and mobile Ca2+ buffers. Our experiments also suggest that the mobility of the endogenous buffer might be higher than previously thought. A high buffer mobility is expected to enhance the cell's ability to rapidly modulate transmitter release.
