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 studied pH sensitivity and ionic selectivity of the tandem pore K(+) channel TASK-1 heterologously expressed in Xenopus oocytes. We fit pH sensitivity assuming that only one of the two residues H98 need be protonated for channels to be shut. The effect of protons was weakly voltage dependent with a p K(a) of 6.02 at +40 mV. Replacement of His (H98D, H98N) reduced pH sensitivity but did not abolish it. Use of a concatameric channel permitted replacement of one His residue only; this concatamer was fully pH-sensitive. Increasing the number of His residues to 4 (mutant D204H) abolished pH sensitivity over the physiological range. The implication that D204 plays a role in pH-sensitivity was confirmed by the finding that pH sensitivity over the physiological range was also abolished in the mutant D204N. Ionic selectivity was also altered in D204H, D204N and H98D mutants. P(Rb)/ P(K) was increased from 0.80+/-0.04 (n=19) in wild type to 1.06+/-0.04 (n=19) in D204H. H98D, D204H and D204N were permeable to Na(+) with P(Na)/ P(K)=0.39+/-0.03 (n=14) in H98D, 0.64+/-0.04 (n=18) in D204H and 0.33+/-0.07 (n=3) in D204N. Thus, the arrangement of ring of residues HDHD appears to optimise both pH sensitivity and ionic selectivity.
