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

Twik-related K+ (TREK) channels produce background currents that regulate cell excitability. In vivo, TREK-1 is involved in neuronal processes including neuroprotection against ischemia, general anesthesia, pain perception, and mood. Recently, we demonstrated that A-kinase anchoring protein AKAP150 binds to a major regulatory domain of TREK-1, promoting drastic changes in channel regulation by polyunsaturated fatty acids, pH, and stretch, and by G-protein-coupled receptors to neurotransmitters and hormones. Here, we show that the microtubule-associated protein Mtap2 is another constituent of native TREK channels in the brain. Mtap2 binding to TREK-1 and TREK-2 does not affect directly channel properties but enhances channel surface expression and current density. This effect relies on Mtap2 binding to microtubules. Mtap2 and AKAP150 interacting sites in TREK-1 are distinct and both proteins can dock simultaneously. Their effects on TREK-1 surface expression and activation are cumulative. In neurons, the three proteins are simultaneously detected in postsynaptic dense bodies. AKAP150 and Mtap2 put TREK channels at the center of a complex protein network that finely tunes channel trafficking, addressing, and regulation.
