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 depletion of inositol trisphosphate-sensitive intracellular pools of calcium causes activation of store-operated calcium (SOC) channels. Loperamide at 10-30 microM has no effect on intracellular calcium levels alone, but augments calcium levels in cultured cells when SOC channels have been activated. In HL-60 leukemic cells, the apparent positive modulatory effect of loperamide on SOC channels occurs when these channels have been activated after ATP, thapsigargin, or ionomycin-elicited depletion of calcium from intracellular storage sites. Loperamide has no effect when levels of intracellular calcium are elevated through a mechanism not involving SOC channels by using sphingosine. Loperamide caused augmentation of intracellular calcium levels after activation of SOC channels in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, astrocytoma 1321N cells, smooth muscle DDT-MF2 cells, RBL-2H3 mast cells, and pituitary GH4C1 cells. Only in astrocytoma cells did loperamide cause an elevation in intracellular calcium in the absence of activation of SOC channels. The augmentation of intracellular calcium elicited by loperamide in cultured cells was dependent on extracellular calcium and was somewhat resistant to agents (SKF 96365, miconazole, clotrimazole, nitrendipine, and trifluoperazine) that in the absence of loperamide effectively blocked SOC channels. It appears that loperamide augments influx of calcium through activated SOC channels.
