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

Two years ago, genes coding for voltage-gated proton channels in humans, mice and Ciona intestinalis were discovered. Transfection of cDNA encoding the human HVCN1 (H(V)1) or mouse (mVSOP) ortholog of HVCN1 into mammalian cells results in currents that are extremely similar to native proton currents, with a subtle, but functionally important, difference. Expressed proton channels exhibit high H(+) selectivity, voltage-dependent gating, strong temperature sensitivity, inhibition by Zn(2+), and gating kinetics similar to native proton currents. Like native channels, expressed proton channels are regulated by pH, with the proton conductance-voltage (g(H)-V) relationship shifting toward more negative voltages when pH(o) is increased or pH(i) is decreased. However, in every (unstimulated) cell studied to date, endogenous proton channels open only positive to the Nernst potential for protons, E(H). Consequently, only outward H(+) currents exist in the steady state. In contrast, when the human or mouse proton channel genes are expressed in HEK-293 or COS-7 cells, sustained inward H(+) currents can be elicited, especially with an inward proton gradient (pH(o) < pH(i)). Inward current is the result of a negative shift in the absolute voltage dependence of gating. The voltage dependence at any given pH(o) and pH(i) is shifted by about -30 mV compared with native H(+) channels. Expressed H(V)1 voltage dependence was insensitive to interventions that promote phosphorylation or dephosphorylation of native phagocyte proton channels, suggesting distinct regulation of expressed channels. Finally, we present additional evidence that speaks against a number of possible mechanisms for the anomalous voltage dependence of expressed H(+) channels.
