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

Although known for more than 20 years, the molecular identity of epithelial Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channels remains obscure. Previous candidate proteins did not hold initial promises, and thus, new hope is put into the recently identified family of bestrophin proteins, as they reflect many of the properties found for native channels. Mutations in the bestrophin gene cause an autosomal form of macular dystrophy of the retina. Bestrophin 1 is assumed to form the basolateral Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel in the retinal pigment epithelium of the eye. Other data suggest that bestrophin is a regulator of voltage gated Ca(2+) channels. Structural information on bestrophins is available and a Cl(-) selective filter has been localized to the second transmembrane domain of bestrophin. It is possible that bestrophins function as physiologically regulated Cl(-) channels only in association with additional subunits and auxiliary proteins. Little is known about expression of bestrophin in gland acinar cells, which show a pronounced Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) secretion. In airways and intestinal epithelia, bestrophins could be particularly important in diseases such as cystic fibrosis and secretory diarrhea.
