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 bioptic specimen from the muscles of a patient suffering from severe myopathy was inspected for the presence of human porin 31HL. Western blotting suggested that the specimen was free of the most abundant eukaryotic porin 31HL (HVDAC1). The specimen was treated with detergent and the soluble protein fraction was passed through a dry hydroxyapatite column. The passthrough of this column was inspected for channel formation in artificial lipid-bilayer membranes. The channel observed under these conditions had a single-channel conductance of about 2.5 nS in 1 M KCl, was cation selective, and was found to be virtually voltage independent. Experiments with a control specimen from a healthy human being, without any indication for muscle myopathy, revealed the presence of the voltage-dependent porin 31HL in the sample. It is discussed whether the patient's bioptic specimen contained another human porin, which has not been studied to date in its natural environment.
