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

Myotonia is a state of hyperexcitability of skeletal-muscle fibres. Mutations in the ClC-1 Cl- channel cause recessive and dominant forms of this disease. Mutations have been described throughout the protein-coding region, including three sequence variations (A885P, R894X and P932L) in a distal C-terminal stretch of residues [CTD (C-terminal domain) region] that are not conserved between CLC proteins. We show that surface expression of these mutants is reduced in Xenopus oocytes compared with wild-type ClC-1. Functional, biochemical and NMR spectroscopy studies revealed that the CTD region encompasses a segment conserved in most voltage-dependent CLC channels that folds with a secondary structure containing a short type II poly-proline helix. We found that the myotonia-causing mutation A885P disturbs this structure by extending the poly-proline helix. We hypothesize that this structural modification results in the observed alteration of the common gate that acts on both pores of the channel. We provide the first experimental investigation of structural changes resulting from myotonia-causing mutations.
