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

Kcv, isolated from a Chlorella virus, is the smallest known K+ channel. When Kcv is expressed in Xenopus oocytes and exposed to 50 mM: [K+](o), its open-state current-voltage relationship (I-V) has the shape of a "tilted S" between -200 and +120 mV. Details of this shape depend on the conditioning voltage (V (c)) immediately before an I-V recording. Unexpectedly, the I-V relationships, recorded in different [K+](o), do intersect. These characteristics are numerically described here by fits of a kinetic model to the experimental data. In this model, the V (c) sensitivity of I-V is mainly assigned to an affinity increase of external K+ association at more positive voltages. The general, tilted-S shape as well as the unexpected intersections of the I-V relationships are kinetically described by a decrease of the cord conductance by the electrochemical driving force for K+ in either direction, like in fast V-dependent blocking by competing ions.
