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

Azietomidate is a photoreactive analog of the general anesthetic etomidate that acts as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) noncompetitive antagonist. We used rapid perfusion electrophysiological techniques to characterize the state dependence and kinetics of azietomidate inhibition of Torpedo californica nAChRs and time-resolved photolabeling to identify the nAChR binding sites occupied after exposure to [(3)H]azietomidate and agonist for 50 ms (open state) or at equilibrium (desensitized state). Azietomidate acted primarily as an open channel inhibitor characterized by a bimolecular association rate constant of k(+) = 5 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1) and a dissociation rate constant of <3s(-1). Azietomidate at 10 microM, when perfused with acetylcholine (ACh), inhibited the ACh response by approximately 50% after 50 ms; when preincubated for 10 s, it decreased the peak initial response by approximately 15%. Comparison of the kinetics of recovery of ACh responses after exposure to ACh and azietomidate or to ACh alone indicated that at subsecond times, azietomidate inhibited nAChRs without enhancing the kinetics of agonist-induced desensitization. In nAChRs frozen after 50-ms exposure to agonist and [(3)H]azietomidate, amino acids were photolabeled in the ion channel [position M2-20 (alphaGlu-262, betaAsp-268, deltaGln-276)], in deltaM1 (deltaCys-236), and in alphaMA/alphaM4 (alphaGlu-390, alphaCys-412) that were also photolabeled in nAChRs in the equilibrium desensitized state at approximately half the efficiency. These results identify azietomidate binding sites at the extracellular end of the ion channel, in the delta subunit helix bundle, and in the nAChR cytoplasmic domain that seem similar in structure and accessibility in the open and desensitized states of the nAChR.
