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

Time-resolved fluorescence detection of site-directed probes is a major tool in the investigation of structure-function relationships of voltage-dependent ion channels. However, the technique has been limited so far to the Xenopus-oocyte system making it difficult to study proteins, like, e.g., the prokaryotic sodium channel NaChBac, whose expression in oocytes is insufficient or whose physiological functions are distorted in oocytes. To expand the application of site-directed fluorescence detection to these proteins, we used two techniques-semiconfocal epifluorescence and total internal reflection fluorescence-to detect time-resolved fluorescence changes from site-directed labeled proteins expressed in mammalian cells under patch-clamp conditions, and investigated the characteristics and limitations of the techniques. The voltage-sensitive dye, di-8-ANEPPS, was used to monitor control of the membrane voltage in epifluorescence and total internal reflection fluorescence. Fluorescence changes in patch-clamped cells were recorded from a Shaker channel mutant (M356C) labeled in the S3-S4 linker using semiconfocal epifluorescence. The gating kinetics and fluorescence changes were in accordance with previous studies using fluorescence spectroscopy in Xenopus-oocyte systems. We applied our technique to the prokaryotic sodium channel NaChBac. Voltage-dependent protein-rearrangements of S4 could be detected that are independent of inactivation. Comparison of the S3-S4 linker regions revealed structural differences to the KvAP voltage sensor. The results from the NaChBac channel point to structural requirements for the S3-S4 loop to generate a fluorescence signal.
