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 hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-modulated (HCN) cation channels are opened by membrane hyperpolarization, while their activation is modulated by the binding of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in the cytoplasm. Here we investigate the molecular basis of cAMP channel modulation by performing molecular dynamics simulations of a segment comprising the C-linker and the cyclic nucleotide binding domain (CNBD) in the presence and absence of cAMP, based on the available crystal structure of HCN2 from mouse. In presence of cAMP, the protein undergoes an oscillation of the quaternary structure on the order of 10 ns, not observed in the apoprotein. In contrast, the absence of ligand causes conformational rearrangements within the CNBDs, driving these domains to a more flexible state, similar to that described in CNBDs of other proteins. This increased flexibility causes a rather disordered movement of the CNBDs, resulting in an inhibitory effect on the channel. We propose that the cAMP-triggered large-scale oscillation plays an important role for the channel's function, being coupled to a motion of the C-linker which, in turn, modulates the gating of the channel.
