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

1. In native cardiac myocytes, there is a time dependence to the G protein-gated inwardly rectifying K(+) (K(G)) channel current during voltage steps that accelerates as the concentration of acetylcholine is increased. This phenomenon has been called 'relaxation' and is not reproduced in the reconstituted Kir3.1/Kir3.4 channel in Xenopus oocytes. We have shown that RGS4, a regulator of G protein signalling, restores relaxation to the reconstituted Kir3.1/Kir3.4 channel. In this study, we examined the mechanism of this phenomenon by expressing various combinations of membrane receptors, G proteins, Kir3.0 subunits and mutants of RGS4 in Xenopus oocytes. 2. RGS4 restored relaxation to K(G) channels activated by the pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive G protein-coupled m(2)-muscarinic receptor but not to those activated by the G(s) protein-coupled beta(2)-adrenergic receptor. 3. RGS4 induced relaxation not only in heteromeric K(G) channels composed of Kir3.1 and Kir3.4 but also in homomeric assemblies of either an active mutant of Kir3.1 (Kir3.1/F137S) or an isoform of Kir3.2 (Kir3.2d). 4. Truncation mutants of RGS4 showed that the RGS domain itself was essential to reproduce the effect of wild-type RGS4 on the K(G) channel. 5. The mutation of residues in the RGS domain which interact with the alpha subunit of the G protein (G(alpha)) impaired the effect of RGS4. 6. This study therefore shows that interaction between the RGS domain and PTX-sensitive G(alpha) subunits mediates the effect of RGS4 on the agonist concentration-dependent relaxation of K(G) channels.
