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

Plant K(+) uptake channel types differ with respect to their voltage, Ca(2)+, and pH dependence. Here, we constructed recombinant chimeric channels between KST1, a member of the inward-rectifying, acid-activated KAT1 family, and AKT3, a member of the weakly voltage-dependent, proton-blocked AKT2/3 family. The homologous pore regions of AKT3 (amino acids 216 to 287) and KST1 (amino acids 217 to 289) have been exchanged to generate the two chimeric channels AKT3/(p)KST1 and KST1/(p)AKT3. In contrast to AKT3 wild-type channels, AKT3/(p)KST1 revealed a strong inward rectification reminiscent of that of KST1. Correspondingly, the substitution of the KST1 by the AKT3 pore led to less pronounced rectification properties of KST1/(p)AKT3 compared with wild-type KST1. Besides the voltage dependence, the interaction between the chimera and extracellular H(+) and Ca(2)+ resembled the properties of the inserted rather than the respective wild-type pore. Whereas AKT3/(p)KST1 was acid activated and Ca(2)+ insensitive, extracellular protons and Ca(2)+ inhibited KST1/(p)AKT3. The regulation of the chimeric channels by cytoplasmic protons followed the respective wild-type backbone of the chimeric channels, indicating that the intracellular pH sensor is located outside the P domain. We thus conclude that essential elements for external pH and Ca(2)+ regulation and for the rectification of voltage-dependent K(+) uptake channels are located within the channel pore.
