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

Auxiliary beta-subunits bound to the cytoplasmic alpha(1)-interaction domain of the pore-forming alpha(1C)-subunit are important modulators of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels. The underlying mechanisms are not yet well understood. We investigated correlations between differential modulation of inactivation by beta(1a)- and beta(2)- subunits and structural responses of the channel to transition into distinct functional states. The NH(2)-termini of the alpha(1C)- and beta-subunits were fused with cyan or yellow fluorescent proteins, and functionally coexpressed in COS1 cells. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between them or with membrane-trapped probes was measured in live cells under voltage clamp. It was found that in the resting state, the tagged NH(2)-termini of the alpha(1C)- and beta-subunit fluorophores are separated. Voltage-dependent inactivation generates strong FRET between alpha(1C) and beta(1a) suggesting mutual reorientation of the NH(2)-termini, but their distance vis-à-vis the plasma membrane is not appreciably changed. These voltage-gated rearrangements were substantially reduced when the beta(1a)-subunit was replaced by beta(2). Differential beta-subunit modulation of inactivation and of FRET between alpha(1C) and beta were eliminated by inhibition of the slow inactivation. Thus, differential beta-subunit modulation of inactivation correlates with the voltage-gated motion between the NH(2)-termini of alpha(1C)- and beta-subunits and targets the mechanism of slow voltage-dependent inactivation.
