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 acid-sensitive K(+) channel, TASK1 is a member of the K(+)-selective tandem-pore domain (K2P) channel family. Like many of the K2P channels, TASK1 is relatively insensitive to conventional channel blockers such as Ba(2+). In this paper we report the impact of mutating the pore-neighbouring histidine residues, which are involved in pH sensing, on the sensitivity to blockade by Ba(2+) and Cs(+); additionally we compare the selectivity of these channels to extracellular K(+), Na(+) and Rb(+). H98D and H98N mutants showed reduced selectivity for K(+) over both Na(+) and Rb(+), and significant permeation of Rb(+). This enhanced permeability must reflect changes in the structure or flexibility of the selectivity filter. Blockade by Ba(2+) and Cs(+) was voltage-dependent, indicating that both ions block within the pore. In 100 mm K(+), the K(D) at 0 mV for Ba(2+) was 36 +/- 10 mm (n = 6), whilst for Cs(+) it was 20 +/- 6.0 mm (n = 5). H98D was more sensitive to Ba(2+) than the wild-type (WT); in addition, the site at which Ba(2+) appears to bind was altered (WT: delta, 0.64 +/- 0.16, n = 6; H98D: delta, 0.16 +/- 0.03, n = 5, statistically different from WT; H98N: delta, 0.58 +/- 0.09, not statistically different from WT). Thus, the pore-neighbouring residue H98 contributes not only to the pH sensitivity of TASK1, but also to the structure of the conduction pathway.
