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

L-type Ca2+ channels are macromolecular protein complexes in neurons and myocytes that open in response to cell membrane depolarization to supply Ca2+ for regulating gene transcription and vesicle secretion and triggering cell contraction. L-type Ca2+ channels include a pore-forming alpha and an auxiliary beta subunit, and alpha subunit openings are regulated by cellular Ca2+ through a mechanism involving the Ca2+-sensing protein calmodulin (CaM) and CaM binding motifs in the alpha subunit cytoplasmic C terminus. Here we show that these CaM binding motifs are "auto-agonists" that increase alpha subunit openings by binding the beta subunit. The CaM binding domains are necessary and sufficient for the alpha subunit C terminus to bind the beta subunit in vitro, and excess CaM blocks this interaction. Addition of CaM binding domains to native cardiac L-type Ca2+ channels in excised cell membrane patches increases openings, and this agonist effect is prevented by excess CaM. Recombinant LTCC openings are also increased by exogenous CaM binding domains by a mechanism requiring the beta subunit, and excess CaM blocks this effect. Thus, the bifunctional ability of the alpha subunit CaM binding motifs to competitively associate with the beta subunit or CaM provides a novel paradigm for feedback control of cellular Ca2+ entry.
