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 conduction properties of ClC-0 and ClC-1 chloride channels are examined using electrostatic calculations and three-dimensional Brownian dynamics simulations. We create an open-state configuration of the prokaryotic ClC Cl(-) channel using its known crystallographic structure as a basis. Two residues that are occluding the channel are slowly pushed outward with molecular dynamics to create a continuous ion-conducting path with the minimum radius of 2.5 A. Then, retaining the same pore shape, the prokaryotic ClC channel is converted to either ClC-0 or ClC-1 by replacing all the nonconserved dipole-containing and charged amino acid residues. Employing open-state ClC-0 and ClC-1 channel models, current-voltage curves consistent with experimental measurements are obtained. We find that conduction in these pores involves three ions. We locate the binding sites, as well as pinpointing the rate-limiting steps in conduction, and make testable predictions about how the single channel current across ClC-0 and ClC-1 will vary as the ionic concentrations are increased. Finally, we demonstrate that a ClC-0 homology model created from an alternative sequence alignment fails to replicate any of the experimental observations.
