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

N-linked glycans, including sialic acids, are integral components of ion channel complexes. To determine if N-linked sugars can modulate a rapidly inactivating K+ channel, the glycosylated Drosophila melanogaster Shaker K+ channel (ShB) and the N-glycosylation-deficient mutant (ShNQ), were studied under conditions of full and reduced sialylation. Through an apparent electrostatic mechanism, full sialylation induced uniform and significant hyperpolarizing shifts in all measured voltage-dependent ShB gating parameters compared to those measured under conditions of reduced sialylation. Steady-state gating of ShNQ was unaffected by changes in sialylation and was nearly identical to that observed for ShB under conditions of reduced sialylation, indicating that N-linked sialic acids were wholly responsible for the observed effects of sialic acid on ShB gating. Interestingly, the rates of transition among channel states and the voltage-independent rates of activation and inactivation were significantly slower for ShNQ compared to ShB. Both effects were independent of sialylation, indicating that N-linked sugars other than sialic acids alter ShB gating kinetics but have little to no effect on the steady-state distribution of channels among states. The effect of sialic acids on channel gating, particularly inactivation gating, and the impact of other N-linked sugars on channel gating kinetics are unique to the ShB isoform. Thus, ShB gating is modulated by two complementary but distinct sugar-dependent mechanisms, (1) an N-linked sialic acid-dependent surface charge effect and (2) a sialic acid-independent effect that is consistent with N-linked sugars affecting the stability of ShB among its functional states.
