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

Residues Tyr-110 through Gly-115 of serotonin transporter were replaced, one at a time, with cysteine. Of these mutants, only G113C retained full activity for transport, Q111C and N112C retained partial activity, but Y110C, G114C and G115C were inactive. Poor surface expression was at least partly responsible for the lack of transport by G114C and G115C. In membrane preparations, Y110C through G113C all bound a high affinity cocaine analog similarly to the wild type. Treatment with methanethiosulfonate reagents increased the transport activity of Q111C and N112C to essentially wild-type levels but had no measurable effect on the other mutants. The decreased activity of Q111C and N112C resulted from an increase in the K(M) for serotonin that was not accompanied by a decrease in serotonin binding affinity. Superfusion experiments indicated a defect in 5-HT exchange. Modification of the inserted cysteine residues reversed the increase in K(M) and the poor exchange, also with no effect on serotonin affinity. The results suggest that Gln-111 and Asn-112 are not required for substrate binding but participate in subsequent steps in the transport cycle.
