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 pentameric glycine receptor (GlyR), a member of the nicotinicoid superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels, is an inhibitory Cl(-) channel that is gated by glycine. Using recently published NMR data of the second transmembrane segment (M2) of the human alpha1 GlyR, structural models of pentameric assemblies embedded in a lipid bilayer were constructed using a combination of experimentally determined constraints coupled with all-atom energy minimization. Based on this structure of the pentameric M2 "pore", Brownian dynamics simulations of ion permeation through this putative conducting open state of the channel were carried out. Simulated I-V curves were in good agreement with published experimental current-voltage curves and the anion/cation permeability ratio, suggesting that our open-state model may be representative of the conducting channel of the full-length receptor. These studies also predicted regions of chloride occupancy and suggested residues critical to anion permeation. Calculations of the conductance of the cation-selective mutant A251E channel are also consistent with experimental data. In addition, both rotation and untilting of the pore helices of our model were found to be broadly consistent with closing of the channel, albeit at distinct regions that may reflect alternate gates of the receptor.
