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

The current flow through hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels, referred to as I(h), plays a major role in several fundamental biological processes. The sequence of the presumed pore region of HCN channels is reminiscent of that of most known K(+)-selective channels. In the present work, the pore topology of an HCN channel from sea urchin sperm, called SpHCN, was investigated by means of the substituted-cysteine accessibility method (SCAM). The I(h) current in the wild-type (w.t.) SpHCN channel was irreversibly blocked by intracellular Cd(2+). This blockage was not observed in mutant C428S. Extracellular Cd(2+) did not cause any inhibition of the I(h) current in the w.t. SpHCN channel, but blocked the current in mutant channels K433C and F434C. Large extracellular anions blocked the current both in the w.t. and K433Q mutant channel. These results suggest that 1) cysteine in position 428 faces the intracellular medium; 2) lysine and phenylalanine in position 433 and 434, respectively, face the extracellular side of the membrane; and 3) lysine 433 does not mediate the anion blockade. Additionally, our study confirms that the K(+) channel signature sequence GYG also forms the inner pore in HCN channels.
