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

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs) are a family of intracellular Ca(2+) channels that exist as homo- or heterotetramers. In order to determine whether the N-terminal ligand-binding domain is in close physical proximity to the C-terminal pore domain, we prepared microsomal membranes from COS-7 cells expressing recombinant type I and type III IP(3)R isoforms. Trypsin digestion followed by cross-linking and co-immunoprecipitation of peptide fragments suggested an inter-subunit N- and C-terminal interaction in both homo- and heterotetramers. This observation was further supported by the ability of in vitro translated C-terminal peptides to interact specifically with an N-terminal fusion protein. Using a (45)Ca(2+) flux assay, we provide functional evidence that the ligand-binding domain of one subunit can gate the pore domain of an adjacent subunit. We conclude that common structural motifs are shared between the type I and type III IP(3)Rs and propose that the gating mechanism of IP(3)R Ca(2+) channels involves the association of the N-terminus of one subunit with the C-terminus of an adjacent subunit in both homo- and heterotetrameric complexes.
