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 whether the anionic amino acids, glutamate and aspartate, permeate through the same volume-regulated conductance permeant to Cl- ions. Cell swelling was initiated in response to establishing a whole-cell configuration in the presence of a hyposmotic gradient. Volume-regulated anion currents carried by Cl-, glutamate, or aspartate developed with similar time courses and showed similar voltage-dependent inactivation. Permeability ratios (Paa/PCl) calculated from measured reversal potentials were dependent on the mole fraction ratio (MFR) of the permeant anions ([aa]/([aa] + [Cl-])). MFR was varied from 0.00 to 0.97. As the fraction of amino acid increased, Paa/PCl decreased. Current amplitude was similarly dependent on MFR. These results show that the permeation of anionic amino acids and that of Cl- ions are not independent of each other, indicating that the ion channel underlying the volume-regulated conductance can be occupied by more than one ion at a time. Application of Eyring rate theory indicated that the major barrier to Cl- ion permeation is at the intracellular side of the membrane, and that the major barrier to amino acid permeation is at the extracellular side of the membrane. The interactions between these permeant ions may have a physiological modulatory role in volume regulation through a volume-regulated anion conductance.
