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. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) have been described as endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors (EDHFs), based on their stimulatory effects on smooth muscle K+ channels. In order to reveal a putative autocrine effect of EETs on endothelial channels, we have studied the effects of the four EET regioisomers (5,6-EET, 8,9-EET, 11,12-EET and 14,15-EET) on the high-conductance, Ca(2+)-dependent K+ (BKCa) channel recorded in inside-out patches of primary cultured pig coronary artery endothelial cells. Currents were recorded in the presence of either 500 nm or 1 microM free Ca2+ on the cytosolic side of the membrane. 2. In 81% of experiments, EETs at < 156 nM, applied on the cytosolic side of the membrane, transiently increased BKCa channel open state probability (PO) without affecting its unitary conductance, thus providing evidence for direct action of EETs, without involvement of a cytosolic transduction pathway. 3. The four EET regioisomers appeared to be equally active, multiplying the BKCa channel PO by a mean factor of 4.3 +/- 0.6 (n = 15), and involving an increase in the number and duration of openings. 4. The EET-induced increase in BKCa channel activity was more pronounced with low initial PO. When the BKCa channel was activated by 500 nM Ca2+, application of EETs increased the initial PO value of below 0.1 by a factor of 5. When the channel was activated by 1 microM Ca2+, application of EETs increased the initial PO value by a factor of 3. 5. Our results show that EETs potentiate endothelial BKCa channel activation by Ca2+. The autocrine action of EETs on endothelial cells, which occurs in the same concentration range as their action on muscle cells, should therefore fully participate in the vasoactive effects of EETs, and thus be taken into account when considering their putative EDHF function.
