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 carboxyl terminal of the L-type calcium channel alpha1C subunit comprises approximately one third of the primary structure of the alpha1 subunit (> 700 amino acids residues). This region is sensitive to limited posttranslational processing. In heart and brain the alpha1C subunits are found to be truncated but the C-terminal domain remains functionally present. Based on our previous data we hypothesized that the distal C-terminus (approximately residues 1650-1950) harbors an important, predominantly inhibitory domain. We generated C-terminal-truncated alpha1C mutants, and after expressing them in combination with a beta3 subunit in HEK-293 cells, electrophysiological experiments were carried out. In order to dissect the important inhibitory part of the C-terminus, trypsin was dialyzed into the cells. The data provide evidence that there are multiple residues within the inhibitory domain that are crucial to the inhibitory process as well as to the enhancement of expressed current by intracellular application of proteases. In addition, the expression of the chimeric mutant alpha(1C)delta1673-DRK1 demonstrated that the C-terminal is specific for the heart channel.
