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

Ether-á-go-go-related gene (erg) channels form one subfamily of the ether-á-go-go (EAG) K(+) channels and all three erg channels (erg1-3) are expressed in the brain. In the present study we characterize a fast erg current in neurones in primary culture derived from the median part of rat embryonic rhombencephala (E15-16). The relatively uniform erg current was regularly found in large multipolar serotonergic neurones, and occurred also in other less well characterized neurones. The erg current was blocked by the antiarrhythmic substance E-4031. Single-cell RT-PCR revealed the expression of erg1a, erg1b, erg2 and erg3 mRNA in different combinations in large multipolar neurones. These cells also contained neuronal tryptophan hydroxylase, a key enzyme for serotonin production. To characterize the molecular properties of the channels mediating the native erg current, we compared the voltage and time dependence of activation and deactivation of the neuronal erg current to erg1a, erg1b, erg2 and erg3 currents heterologously expressed in CHO cells. The biophysical properties of the neuronal erg current were well within the range displayed by the different heterologously expressed erg currents. Activation and deactivation kinetics of the neuronal erg current were fast and resembled those of erg3 currents. Our data suggest that the erg channels in rat embryonic rhombencephalon neurones are heteromultimers formed by different erg channel subunits.
