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. Cultured epithelia of Sertoli cells from prepubertal rats were grown on Matrigel-coated millipore filters for short-circuit current (Isc) measurements. Under basal conditions, these epithelia exhibited a 'zero' transepithelial potential difference, a 'zero' short-circuit current and a transepithelial resistance of 60 Omega cm2. 2. Forskolin (100 microM) and 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP (cpt-cAMP) (100 microM) added to the apical side stimulated the Isc (forskolin, peak DeltaIsc = 1.32 +/- 0.16 microA cm-1; cpt-cAMP, peak DeltaIsc = 0.88 +/- 0.16 microA cm-2). 3. ATP (100 microM) added apically elicited a Isc response (peak DeltaIsc = 6.45 +/- 0. 28 microA cm-2) which was similar in magnitude to that of 1 microM thapsigargin (peak DeltaIsc = 6.09 +/- 0.44 microA cm-2). The potency of the responses to other nucleotides: UTP >= ATP > ADP >> AMP = adenosine indicates the involvement of a mixture of P2Y receptors. 4. Removal of extracellular Cl- and HCO3- reduced the Isc response to ATP by 70 % and 40 %, respectively. Removal of K+ had no effect, whereas removal of Na+ attenuated the Isc response. 5. The response to ATP was insensitive to agents known to block anion secretion (except apical diphenylamine-2-carboxylate (DPC) and DIDS). The resistance to perturbation by pharmacological agents may be a unique property of the seminiferous epithelium. 6. Whole-cell current recordings in cultured rat Sertoli cells demonstrated a DIDS-sensitive outwardly rectifying Cl- conductance with activating and inactivating characteristics at depolarizing and hyperpolarizing voltages, respectively. 7. The stimulation of electrogenic ion transport by ATP may be part of a complex mechanism regulating fluid secretion by the testis. Cultured Sertoli cell epithelia are shown to provide a useful model to investigate transepithelial transport in the seminiferous epithelium.
