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

We have examined the modulation of cloned and stably expressed rat brain N type calcium channels (alpha1B + beta1b + alpha2delta subunits) by exogenously applied purified G protein betagamma subunits. In the absence of Gbetagamma, barium currents through N type channels are unaffected by application of strong depolarizing prepulses. In contrast, inclusion of purified Gbetagamma in the patch pipette results in N type currents that initially facilitated upon application of positive prepulses followed by rapid reinhibition. Examination of the kinetics of Gbetagamma-dependent reinhibition showed that as the duration between the test pulse and the prepulse was increased, the degree of facilitation was attenuated in a monoexponential fashion. The time constant tau for the recovery from facilitation was sensitive to exogenous Gbetagamma, so that the inverse of tau linearly depended on the Gbetagamma concentration. Overall, the data are consistent with a model whereby a single Gbetagamma molecule dissociates from the channel during the prepulse, and that reassociation of Gbetagamma with the channel after the prepulse occurs as a bimolecular reaction.
