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

The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channel pore is thought to contain multiple binding sites for permeant and impermeant anions. Here, we investigate the effects of mutation of different positively charged residues in the pore on current inhibition by impermeant Pt(NO(2)) (4) (2-) and suramin anions. We show that mutations that remove positive charges (K95, R303) influence interactions with intracellular, but not extracellular, Pt(NO(2))(4)(2-) ions, consistent with these residues being situated within the pore inner vestibule. In contrast, mutation of R334, supposedly located in the outer vestibule of the pore, affects block by both extracellular and intracellular Pt(NO(2))(4)(2-). Inhibition by extracellular Pt(NO(2))(4)(2-) requires a positive charge at position 334, consistent with a direct electrostatic interaction resulting in either open channel block or surface charge screening. In contrast, inhibition by intracellular Pt(NO(2))(4)(2-) is weakened in all R334-mutant forms of the channel studied, inconsistent with a direct interaction. Furthermore, mutation of R334 had similar effects on block by intracellular suramin, a large organic molecule that is apparently unable to enter deeply into the channel pore. Mutation of R334 altered interactions between intracellular Pt(NO(2))(4)(2-) and extracellular Cl(-) but not those between intracellular Pt(NO(2))(4)(2-) and extracellular Pt(NO(2))(4)(2-). We propose that while the positive charge of R334 interacts directly with extracellular anions, mutation of this residue also alters interactions with intracellular anions by an indirect mechanism, due to mutation-induced conformational changes in the protein that are propagated some distance from the site of the mutation in the outer mouth of the pore.
