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

For many neurons, N-type calcium channels provide the primary pathway for calcium influx during an action potential. We investigated the gating properties of single N-type calcium channels using the cell-attached patch technique. With 100 mM Ba2+ in the pipet, mean N-channel open probability (Po, measured over 100 ms) increased with depolarization, but the range at a single voltage was large (e.g., Po at +40 mV ranged from 0.1 to 0.8). The open dwell time histograms were generally well fit by a single exponential with mean open time (tauo) increasing from 0.7 ms at +10 mV to 3.1 ms at +40 mV. Shut time histograms were well fit by two exponentials. The brief shut time component (taush1 = 0.3 ms) did not vary with the test potential, while the longer shut time component (taush2) decreased with voltage from 18.9 ms at +10 mV to 2.3 ms at +40 mV. Although N-channel Po during individual sweeps at +40 mV was often high ( approximately 0.8), mean Po was reduced by null sweeps, low Po gating, inactivation, and slow activation. The variability in mean Po across patches resulted from differences in the frequency these different gating processes were expressed by the channels. Runs analysis showed that null sweeps tended to be clustered in most patches, but that inactivating and slowly activating sweeps were generally distributed randomly. Low Po gating (Po = 0.2, tauo = 1 ms at +40 mV) could be sustained for approximately 1 min in some patches. The clustering of null sweeps and sweeps with low Po gating is consistent with the idea that they result from different modes of N-channel gating. While Po of the main N-channel gating state is high, the net Po is reduced to a maximum value of close to 0.5 by other gating processes.
