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. We examined [Ca2+]i and L-type Ca2+ channel current (ICa) in single cardiac myocytes to determine how the intracellular protein phospholamban (PLB) influences excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling in heart. Wild type (WT) and PLB-deficient (KO) mice were used. Cells were patch clamped in whole-cell mode while [Ca2+]i was imaged simultaneously using the Ca2+ indicator fluo-3 and a confocal microscope. 2. Although ICa was similar in magnitude, the decay of ICa was faster in KO than in WT cells and the [Ca2+]i transient was larger and decayed faster. Furthermore, the E-C coupling 'gain' (measured as delta[Ca2+]i/ICa) was larger in KO cells than in WT cells. 3. Spontaneous Ca2+ sparks were three times more frequent and larger in KO cells than in WT myocytes but, surprisingly, the time constants of decay were similar. 4. SR Ca2+ content was significantly greater in KO than in WT cells. When the SR Ca2+ content in KO cells was reduced to that in WT cells, Ca2+ sparks in these 'modified' (KO') cells decayed faster. E-C coupling gain, [Ca2+]i transient amplitude and the kinetics of decay of ICa were similar in KO' and WT cells. 5. We conclude that SR Ca2+ content influences (1) ICa, (2) the amplitude and kinetics of Ca2+ sparks and [Ca2+]i transients, (3) the sensitivity of the RyRs to triggering by [Ca2+]i, (4) the amount of Ca2+ released, (5) the magnitude of the E-C coupling 'gain' function, and (6) the rate of Ca2+ re-uptake by the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase. In KO cells, the larger [Ca2+]i transients and Ca2+ sparks speed up ICa inactivation. Finally, we conclude that PLB plays an important regulatory role in E-C coupling by modulating SR Ca(2+)-ATPase activity, which establishes the SR Ca2+ content and consequently influences the characteristics of local and global Ca2+ signalling.
