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 patch-clamp technique was used in conjunction with the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator indo-1 to measure simultaneously cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and membrane potential in single rat corticotrophs identified with the reverse haemolytic plaque assay. 2. Application of the adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) secretagogue, corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), triggered a sustained [Ca2+]i elevation and membrane depolarization. 3. The CRH action was mediated via the cAMP-dependent protein kinase cascade. Both the CRH-induced depolarization and [Ca2+]i elevation could be mimicked by extracellular application of the adenylate cyclase activator forskolin or the membrane-permeable cAMP analogue, 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-adenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-CPT-cAMP). Intracellular adenosine cyclic 3',5'-(Rp)-phosphothioate (Rp-cAMPS), a protein kinase A inhibitor, abolished the CRH effects. 4. Voltage-clamp studies suggest that the CRH-triggered depolarization was due to the reduction of background K+ conductances. The CRH-sensitive current was Ca2+ independent and was insensitive to the K+ channel blockers tetraethylammonium (TEA) or 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), but could be partially inhibited by Ba2+. 5. The CRH-triggered steady-state depolarization stimulated extracellular Ca2+ entry via voltage-gated Ca2+ channels and raised [Ca2+]i. CRH failed to stimulate [Ca2+]i rise in cells that were voltage clamped at their resting potential. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ or inhibition of Ca2+ channels by Ni2+ abolished the [Ca2+]i rise. 6. Voltage-clamp studies of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels using Ba2+ as charge carrier show that approximately 90% of the channels were available for activation at the resting potential. CRH did not enhance the voltage-gated Ca2+ channels.
