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

Cation-selective cysteine (Cys)-loop transmitter-gated ion channels provide an important pathway for Ca2+ entry into neurones. We examined the influence on Ca2+ permeation of amino acids located at intra- and extracellular ends of the conduction pathway of the human 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3A (5-HT3A) receptor. Mutation of cytoplasmic arginine residues 432, 436, and 440 to glutamine, aspartate, and alanine (the aligned residues of the human 5-HT3B subunit (yielding 5-HT3A(QDA)) increased PCa/PCs from 1.4 to 3.7. The effect was attributable to the removal of an electrostatic influence of the Arg-436 residue. Despite its relatively high permeability to Ca2+, the single channel conductance of the 5-HT3A(QDA) receptor was depressed in a concentration-dependent and voltage-independent manner by extracellular Ca2+. A conserved aspartate, located toward the extracellular end of the conduction pathway and known to influence ionic selectivity, contributed to the inhibitory effect of Ca2+ on macroscopic currents mediated by 5-HT3A receptors. We introduced a D293A mutation into the 5-HT3A(QDA) receptor (yielding the 5-HT3A(QDA D293A) construct) to determine whether the aspartate is required for the suppression of single channel conductance by Ca2+. The D293A mutation decreased the PCa/PCs ratio to 0.25 and reduced inwardly directed single channel conductance from 41 to 30 pS but did not prevent suppression of single channel conductance by Ca2+. The D293A mutation also reduced PCa/PCs when engineered into the wild-type 5-HT3A receptor. The data helped to identify key residues in the cytoplasmic domain (Arg-436) and extracellular vestibule (Asp-293) that markedly influence PCa/PCs and additionally directly demonstrated a depression of single channel conductance by Ca2+.
