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

Caveolins are plasma-membrane-associated proteins potentially involved in a variety of signalling pathways. Different mutations in CAV3, the gene encoding for the muscle-specific isoform caveolin-3 (Cav-3), lead to muscle diseases, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we explored the functional consequences of a Cav-3 mutation (P104L) inducing the 1C type limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD 1C) in human on intracellular Ca(2+) regulation of adult skeletal muscle fibres. A YFP-tagged human Cav-3(P104L) mutant was expressed in vivo in muscle fibres from mouse. Western blot analysis revealed that expression of this mutant led to an approximately 80% drop of the level of endogenous Cav-3. The L-type Ca(2+) current density was found largely reduced in fibres expressing the Cav-3(P104L) mutant, with no change in the voltage dependence of activation and inactivation. Interestingly, the maximal density of intramembrane charge movement was unaltered in the Cav-3(P104L)-expressing fibres, suggesting no change in the total amount of functional voltage-sensing dihydropyridine receptors (DHPRs). Also, there was no obvious alteration in the properties of voltage-activated Ca(2+) transients in the Cav-3(P104L)-expressing fibres. Although the actual role of the Ca(2+) channel function of the DHPR is not clearly established in adult skeletal muscle, its specific alteration by the Cav-3(P104L) mutant suggests that it may be involved in the physiopathology of LGMD 1C.
