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

We tested the effects of charge-neutralizing mutations of the eight arginine residues in DIVS4 of the rat skeletal muscle sodium channel (rNa(V)1.4) on deactivation gating from the open and inactivated states. We hypothesized that neutralization of outer or central charges would accelerate the I-to-C transition as measured by recovery delay because these represent a portion of the immobilizable charge. R1Q abbreviated recovery delay as a consequence of reduced charge content. R4Q increased delay, whereas R5Q abbreviated delay, and charge-substitutions at these residues indicated that each effect was allosteric. We also hypothesized that neutralization of any residue in DIVS4 would slow the O-to-C transition with reduction in positive charge. Reduction in charge at R1, and to a lesser extent at R5, slowed open-state deactivation, while charge neutralizations at R2, R3, R4, R6, and R7 accelerated open-state deactivation. Our findings suggest that arginine residues in DIVS4 in rNa(V)1.4 have differing roles in channel closure from open and inactivated states. Furthermore, they suggest that deactivation in DIVS4 is regulated by charge interaction between the electrical field with the outermost residue, and by local allosteric interactions imparted by central charges.
