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

The functional relevance of aromatic residues in the upper part of the transmembrane domain-1 of purinergic P2X receptors (P2XRs) was examined. Replacement of the conserved Tyr residue with Ala had a receptor-specific effect: the P2X1R was non-functional, the P2X2R, P2X4R, and P2X3R exhibited enhanced sensitivity to ATP and alphabeta-meATP accompanied by prolonged decay of current after washout of agonists, and the P2X7R sensitivity for agonists was not affected, though decay of current was delayed. The replacement of the P2X4R-Tyr42 with other amino acids revealed the relevance of an aromatic residue at this position. Mutation of the neighboring Phe and ipsilateral Tyr/Trp residues, but not the contralateral Phe residue, also affected the P2X2R, P2X3R, and P2X4R function. Double mutation of ipsilateral Tyr42 and Trp46 P2X4R residues restored receptor function, whereas the corresponding P2X2R double mutant was not functional. In contrast, mutation of the contralateral Phe48 residue in the P2X4R-Y42A mutant had no effect. These results indicate that aromatic residues in the upper part of TM1 play important roles in the three-dimensional structure of the P2XRs and that they are required not only for ion conductivity but also for specificity of agonist binding and/or channel gating.
