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

Ca(V)1.3 channels comprise a vital subdivision of L-type Ca2+ channels: Ca(V)1.3 channels mediate neurotransmitter release from auditory inner hair cells (IHCs), pancreatic insulin secretion, and cardiac pacemaking. Fitting with these diverse roles, Ca(V)1.3 channels exhibit striking variability in their inactivation by intracellular Ca2+. IHCs show generally weak-to-absent Ca2+-dependent inactivation (CDI), potentially permitting audition of sustained sounds. In contrast, the strong CDI seen elsewhere likely provides critical negative feedback. Here, we explore this mysterious CDI malleability, particularly its comparative weakness in hair cells. At baseline, heterologously expressed Ca(V)1.3 channels exhibit intense CDI, wherein each lobe of calmodulin (CaM) contributes a distinct inactivation component. Because CaM-like molecules (bearing four recognizable but not necessarily functional Ca2+-binding EF hands) can perturb the Ca2+ response of molecules regulated by CaM, we asked whether such CaM-like entities could influence CDI. We find that CaM-like calcium-binding protein (CaBP) molecules are clearly expressed within the organ of Corti. In particular, the rare subtype CaBP4 is specific to IHCs, and CaBP4 proves capable of eliminating even the potent baseline CDI of Ca(V)1.3. CaBP4 thereby represents a plausible candidate for moderating CDI within IHCs.
