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

Ether-a-go-go potassium channels have large intracellular regions containing 'Per-Ant-Sim' (PAS) and cyclic nucleotide binding (cNBD) domains at the N- and C-termini, respectively. In heag1 and heag2 channels, recent studies have suggested that the N- and C-terminal domains interact, and affect activation properties. Here, we have studied the effect of mutations of residues on the surfaces of PAS and cNBD domains. For this, we introduced alanine and lysine mutations in heag1 channels, and recorded currents by two-electrode voltage clamp. In both the PAS domain and the cNBD domain, contiguous areas of conserved residues on the surfaces of these domains were found which affected the activation kinetics of the channel. Next, we investigated possible effects of mutations on domain interactions of PAS and cNBD proteins in heag2 by co-expressing these domain proteins followed by analysis with native gels and western blotting. We found oligomeric association between these domains. Mutations F30A and A609K (on the surfaces of the PAS and cNBD domains, respectively) affected oligomeric compositions of these domains when proteins for PAS and cNBD domains were expressed together. Taken together, the data suggest that the PAS and cNBD domains form interacting oligomers that have roles in channel function.
