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

Channelopathies are often linked to defective protein folding and trafficking. Among them, the calcium channelopathy episodic ataxia type-2 (EA2) is an autosomal dominant disorder related to mutations in the pore-forming Ca(v)2.1 subunit of P/Q-type calcium channels. Although EA2 is linked to loss of Ca(v)2.1 channel activity, the molecular mechanism underlying dominant inheritance remains unclear. Here, we show that EA2 mutants as well as a truncated form (D(I-II)) of the Ca(v)3.2 subunit of T-type calcium channel are misfolded, retained in the endoplasmic reticulum, and subject to proteasomal degradation. Pulse-chase experiments revealed that misfolded mutants bind to nascent wild-type Ca(v) subunits and induce their subsequent degradation, thereby abolishing channel activity. We conclude that this destructive interaction mechanism promoted by Ca(v) mutants is likely to occur in EA2 and in other inherited dominant channelopathies.
