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

A genomic clone encoding a mouse brain K+ channel (MBK1) was isolated, characterized and expressed in COS cells using the lipofection technique. Transfected COS cells expressed voltage-dependent K+ currents that activated within 20 ms at 0 mV and showed less than 10% inactivation during 250 ms depolarizing pulses at 60 mV. Expressed K+ currents were reversibly blocked by 4-aminopyridine and tetraethylammonium, and were moderately sensitive to dendrotoxin, but insensitive to charybdotoxin. Thus MBK1, expressed transiently in a mammalian cell line, exhibits features characteristic of non-inactivating K+ channels with a conspicuous insensitivity to charybdotoxin. Lipofection is, therefore, a valuable strategy for expression of channel proteins in mammalian cells.
