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

Functional and structural studies demonstrate that Cl(-) channels of the ClC family have a dimeric double-barrelled structure, with each monomer contributing an identical pore. Single protopore gating is a fast process dependent on Cl(-) interaction within the selectivity filter and in ClC-0 has a low temperature coefficient over a 10 degrees C range (Q(10)). A slow gating process closes both protopores simultaneously, has a high Q(10), is facilitated by extracellular Zn(2+) and Cd(2+) and is abolished or markedly reduced by mutation of a cysteine conserved in ClC-0, -1 and -2. In order to test the hypothesis that similar slow and fast gates exist in the widely expressed ClC-2 Cl(-) channel we have investigated the effects of these manoeuvres on ClC-2. We find that the time constants of both components of the double-exponential hyperpolarization-dependent activation (and deactivation) processes have a high temperature dependence, with Q(10) values of about 4-5, suggesting important conformational changes of the channel. Mutating C256 (equivalent to C212 in ClC-0) to A, led to a significant fraction of constitutively open channels at all potentials. Activation time constants were not affected but deactivation was slower and significantly less temperature dependent in the C256A mutant. Extracellular Cd(2+), that inhibits wild-type (WT) channels almost fully, inhibited C256A only by 50%. In the WT, the time constants for opening were not affected by Cd(2+) but deactivation at positive potentials was accelerated by Cd(2+). This effect was absent in the C256A mutant. The effect of intracellular Cl(-) on channel activation was unchanged in the C256A mutant. Collectively our results strongly support the hypothesis that ClC-2 possesses a common gate and that part of the current increase induced by hyperpolarization represents an opening of the common gate. In contrast to the gating in ClC-0, the protopore gate and the common gate of ClC-2 do not appear to be independent.
