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

Aluminum (Al) inhibits inward K(+) channels (K(in)) in both root hair and guard cells, which accounts for at least part of the Al toxicity in plants. To understand the mechanism of Al-induced K(in) inhibition, we performed patch clamp analyses on K(in) in guard cells and on KAT1 channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Our results show that Al inhibits plant K(in) by blocking the channels at the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane. In guard cells, single-channel recording revealed that Al inhibition of K(in) occurred only upon internal exposure. Using both "giant patch" recording and single-channel analyses, we found that Al reduced KAT1 open probability and changed its activation kinetics through an internal membrane-delimited mechanism. We also provide evidence that a Ca(2)+ channel-like pathway that is sensitive to antagonists verapamil and La(3)+ mediates Al entry across the plasma membrane. We conclude that Al enters plant cells through a Ca(2)+ channel-like pathway and inhibits K(+) uptake by internally blocking K(in).
