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. Paramyotonia congenita is a temperature-sensitive skeletal muscle disorder caused by missense mutations that occur in the adult skeletal muscle voltage-gated sodium channel. We report here the identification of a new genetic mutation in a family with the paramyotonia congenita phenotype. 2. Single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis and DNA sequencing showed that the defect was linked to a single nucleotide substitution causing an amino acid change from an arginine to a serine at position 1448 in the human sodium channel alpha-subunit. 3. Expression of the altered protein in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells revealed several defects in channel function: (i) the rate of fast inactivation was slower in the mutant channel compared with wild-type, (ii) steady-state fast inactivation was shifted towards hyperpolarizing potentials, (iii) the R1448S channels deactivated much more slowly, and (iv) the mutant channels recovered from the fast inactivated state more rapidly. 4. By contrast, the activation curve, steady-state slow inactivation and the rate of onset and recovery from slow inactivation were not altered by the R1448S mutation. 5. These data show that the defects observed in the sodium channel function could well explain the onset of the paramyotonia congenita in this family and emphasize the role of segment S4 of domain IV in sodium channel inactivation.
