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

Changes in amiloride-sensitive epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) activity (NP(o)) in the lung lead to pathologies associated with dysregulation of lung fluid balance. UTP activation of purinergic receptors and hydrolysis of PIP(2) via activation of phospholipase C (PLC) or AICAR activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) inhibited amiloride-sensitive Na(+) transport across human H441 epithelial cell monolayers. Neither treatment altered alpha, beta or gamma ENaC subunit abundance (N) in the apical membrane indicating that the mechanism of inhibition was via a change in channel open state probability (P(o)). We found that UTP depleted PIP(2) abundance in the apical membrane whilst activation of AMPK prevented the binding of beta and gamma ENaC subunits to PIP(2.) The association of PIP(2) with the ENaC subunits is required to maintain channel activity via P(o). Thus, these data show for the first time that AICAR activation of AMPK inhibits Na(+) transport via a mechanism that perturbs the PIP(2)-ENaC channel interaction to alter P(o). In addition, we show that dissociation of PIP(2) from ENaC together with activation of AMPK further reduced Na(+) transport by a secondary effect that correlated with ENaC subunit internalization. Thus, when PIP(2)-ENaC subunit interactions were compromised, ENaC protein retrieval was initiated, indicating that AMPK can modulate ENaC P(o) and N.
