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

Membranes flex with changes in transmembrane potential as a result of changes in interfacial tension, the Lippman effect. We studied the membrane electromotility of Shaker K(+)-transfected HEK-293 cells in real time by using combined patch-clamp atomic force microscopy. In the voltage range where the channels were closed, Shaker expression had little effect on electromotility relative to wild-type cells. Depolarization between -120 and -40 mV resulted in a linear upward cantilever deflection equivalent to an increase in membrane tension. However, when depolarized sufficiently for channel opening, the electromotility saturated and only recovered over 10 s of milliseconds. This remarkable loss of motility was associated with channel opening, not ionic flux or movement of the voltage sensors. The IL mutant of Shaker, in which the voltage dependence of channel opening but not sensor movement is shifted to more positive potentials, caused the loss of electromotility saturation also to shift to more positive potentials. The temporary loss of electromotility associated with channel opening is probably caused by local buckling of the bilayer as the inner half of the channel expands as expected from X-ray structural data.
