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

The patch-clamp technique was used to characterize the mechanism of Ca2+-induced inactivation of cardiac L-type Ca2+ channel alpha(1C-a) + beta3 subunits stably expressed in CHO cells. Single Ca2+ channel activity was monitored with 96 mM Ba2+ as charge carrier in the presence of 2.5 microM (-)BAYK 8644 and calpastatin plus ATP. This enabled stabilization of channel activity in the inside-out patch and allowed for application of steady-state Ca2+ concentrations to the intracellular face of excised membrane patches in an attempt to provoke Ca2+-induced inactivation. Inactivation was found to occur specifically with Ca2+ since it was not observed upon application of Ba2+. Ca2+-dependent inhibition of mean Ca2+ channel activity was characterized by a Hill coefficient close to 1. Ca2+ binding to open and closed states of the channel obtained during depolarization apparently occurred with similar affinity yielding half-maximal inhibition of Ca2+ channel activity at approximately 4 microM. This inhibition manifested predominantly in a reduction of the channel's open probability whereas availability remained almost unchanged. The reduction in open probability was achieved by an increase in first latencies and a decrease in channel opening frequency as well as channel open times. At high (12-28 microM) Ca2+ concentrations, 72% of inhibition occurred due to a stabilization of the closed state and the remaining 28% by a destabilization of the open state. Our results suggest that binding of one calcium ion to a regulatory domain induces a complex alteration in the kinetic properties of the Ca2+ channel and support the idea of a single EF hand motif as the relevant Ca2+ binding site on the alpha1 subunit.
