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 molecular biological approach was used to analyse the importance of different amino acids for ligand activation and for determining the action of amiloride on peptide- (Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH(2), FMRFamide)-gated Na(+) channels, members of the degenerin/epithelial Na channel (DEG/ENaC) family. Amiloride is a low-affinity blocker of most DEG/ENa channels, but has an unusual enhancing effect on responses of some of them. Chimeras were expressed in Xenopus oocytes and studied electrophysiologically. Differences in properties of channels from Helix aspersa and Helisoma trivolvis highlighted a sequence of 50 residues of the extracellular domain, near the first transmembrane segment (TM1), that affected sensitivity to FMRFamide, and whether amiloride blocked or enhanced the response to FMRFamide. Comparisons of chimeras prepared from H. aspersa and the extracellular domains of two other species, Aplysia californica and Lymnaea stagnalis and the preparation of further constructs, showed that amino acids 128-134 in the H. aspersa sequence are important in determining the predominant effect of amiloride and influencing the EC(50) of FMRFamide. The results also showed that amino acids in this region are influenced by amino acids in other regions of the extracellular domain so as to affect not only the magnitude of responses, but also their time course and desensitisation.
