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

After formation of the giga-seal, the membrane patch can be stimulated by hydrostatic or osmotic pressure gradients applied across the patch. This feature led to the discovery of stretch-sensitive or mechanosensitive (MS) channels, which are now known to be ubiquitously expressed in cells representative of all the living kingdoms. In addition to mechanosensation, MS channels have been implicated in many basic cell functions, including regulation of cell volume, shape, and motility. The successful cloning, overexpression, and crystallization of bacterial MS channel proteins combined with patch clamp and modeling studies have provided atomic insight into the working of these nanomachines. In particular, studies of MS channels have revealed new understanding of how the lipid bilayer modulates membrane protein function. Three major membrane protein families, transient receptor potential, 2 pore domain K(+), and the epithelial Na(+) channels, have been shown to form MS channels in animal cells, and their polymodal activation embrace fields far beyond mechanosensitivity. The discovery of new drugs highly selective for MS channels ("mechanopharmaceutics") and the demonstration of MS channel involvement in several major human diseases ("mechanochannelopathies") provide added motivation for devising new techniques and approaches for studying MS channels.
