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 type IIa Na(+)/P(i), cotransporter (NaPi-IIa) mediates electrogenic transport of three Na(+) and one divalent P(i) ion (and one net positive charge) across the cell membrane. Sequence comparison of electrogenic NaPi-IIa and IIb isoforms with the electroneutral NaPi-IIc isoform pointed to the third transmembrane domain (TMD-3) as a possibly significant determinant of substrate binding. To elucidate the role of TMD-3 in the topology and mechanism underlying NaPi-IIa function we subjected it to cysteine scanning mutagenesis. The constructs were expressed in Xenopus oocytes and P(i) transport kinetics were assayed by electrophysiology and radiotracer uptake. Cys substitution resulted in only marginally altered kinetics of P(i) transport in those mutants providing sufficient current for analysis. Only one site, at the extracellular end of TMD-3, appeared to be accessible to methanethiosulfonate reagents. However, additional mutations carried out at D224 (replaced by E, G or N) and N227 (replaced by D or Q) resulted in markedly altered voltage and substrate dependencies of the P(i)-dependent currents. Replacing Asp-224 (highly conserved in electrogenic a and b isoforms) with Gly (the residue found in the electroneutral c isoform) resulted in a mutant that mediated electroneutral Na(+)-dependent P(i) transport. Since electrogenic NaPi-II transports 3 Na(+)/transport cycle, whereas electroneutral NaPi-IIc only transports 2, we speculate that this loss of electrogenicity might result from the loss of one of the three Na(+) binding sites in NaPi-IIa.
