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 have used the patch-clamp technique to study modulation of the inwardly rectifying K+ current (IK(IR)) in cultured bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (CPAE cells). In whole-cell mode, IK(IR) was defined as the Ba(2+)-sensitive current. In single channel recordings, we observed a strongly inwardly rectifying and K(+)-selective channel with a conductance of 31 +/- 3 pS. 2. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis and functional data suggest that the endothelial IRK is most probably Kir2.1. 3. Intracellular ATP is required to prevent run-down of IRK in whole-cell mode. Single channel activity disappeared in inside-out patches exposed to ATP-free solution and in cell-attached patches on cells exposed to metabolic inhibition (KCN, 2-deoxyglucose). 4. The non-hydrolysable ATP analogues, ATP gamma S and adenylyl imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP), did not prevent run-down. Run-down did not occur in the presence of okadaic acid, a phosphatase inhibitor, but was enhanced in the presence of protamine, an activator of phosphatase 2A (PP2A). 5. GTP gamma S and AlF4- inhibited IRK, also in the presence of ATP. GTP beta S antagonized the GTP gamma S effect. Pretreatment of the cells with PTX did not affect the GTP gamma S-induced inhibition. Okadaic acid, however, slowed this inhibition. 6. Neither activation of protein kinase A (PKA) nor activation of protein kinase C (PKC) affected IRK. Additionally, neither cytochalasin B nor a high concentration of intracellular Ca2+ affected the time course of IRK run-down. 7. We conclude that run-down of IRK is probably due to dephosphorylation by PP2A. Activation of a PTX-insensitive G protein inhibits this current by a mechanism that is neither mediated via the PKA and PKC pathways nor by intracellular Ca2+, but supposedly by a G protein-dependent activation of a phosphatase.
