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

Voltage-dependent inactivation of CaV2.3 channels was investigated using point mutations in the beta-subunit-binding site (AID) of the I-II linker. The quintuple mutant alpha1E N381K + R384L + A385D + D388T + K389Q (NRADK-KLDTQ) inactivated like the wild-type alpha1E. In contrast, mutations of alpha1E at position R378 (position 5 of AID) into negatively charged residues Glu (E) or Asp (D) significantly slowed inactivation kinetics and shifted the voltage dependence of inactivation to more positive voltages. When co-injected with beta3, R378E inactivated with tau(inact) = 538 +/- 54 ms (n = 14) as compared with 74 +/- 4 ms (n = 21) for alpha1E (p < 0.001) with a mid-potential of inactivation E(0.5) = -44 +/- 2 mV (n = 10) for R378E as compared with E(0.5) = -64 +/- 3 mV (n = 9) for alpha1E. A series of mutations at position R378 suggest that positively charged residues could promote voltage-dependent inactivation. R378K behaved like the wild-type alpha1E whereas R378Q displayed intermediate inactivation kinetics. The reverse mutation E462R in the L-type alpha1C (CaV1.2) produced channels with inactivation properties comparable to alpha1E R378E. Hence, position 5 of the AID motif in the I-II linker could play a significant role in the inactivation of Ca(V)1.2 and CaV2.3 channels.
