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

Ca(2+) channel inactivation is a key element in controlling the level of Ca(2+) entry through voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels. Interaction between the pore-forming alpha(1) subunit and the auxiliary beta subunit is known to be a strong modulator of voltage-dependent inactivation. Here, we demonstrate that an N-terminal membrane anchoring site (MAS) of the beta(2a) subunit strongly reduces alpha(1A) (Ca(V)2.1) Ca(2+) channel inactivation. This effect can be mimicked by the addition of a transmembrane segment to the N terminus of the beta(2a) subunit. Inhibition of inactivation by beta(2a) also requires a link between MAS and another important molecular determinant, the beta interaction domain (BID). Our data suggest that mobility of the Ca(2+) channel I-II loop is necessary for channel inactivation. Interaction of this loop with other identified intracellular channel domains may constitute the basis of voltage-dependent inactivation. We thus propose a conceptually novel mechanism for slowing of inactivation by the beta(2a) subunit, in which the immobilization of the channel inactivation gate occurs by means of MAS and BID.
