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 have cloned and characterized a new member of the voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channel gamma subunit family, with a novel gene structure and striking properties. Unlike the genes of other potential gamma subunits identified by their homology to the stargazin gene, CACNG7 is a five-, and not four-exon gene whose mRNA encodes a protein we have designated gamma(7). Expression of human gamma(7) has been localized specifically to brain. N-type current through Ca(V)2.2 channels was almost abolished when co-expressed transiently with gamma(7) in either Xenopus oocytes or COS-7 cells. Furthermore, immunocytochemistry and western blots show that gamma(7) has this effect by causing a large reduction in expression of Ca(V)2.2 rather than by interfering with trafficking or biophysical properties of the channel. No effect of transiently expressed gamma(7) was observed on pre-existing endogenous N-type calcium channels in sympathetic neurones. Low homology to the stargazin-like gamma subunits, different gene structure and the unique functional properties of gamma(7) imply that it represents a distinct subdivision of the family of proteins identified by their structural and sequence homology to stargazin.
