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 topological control hypothesis presented by Bostick and Brooks [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2007, 104, 9260] has sought to explain binding selectivity in potassium channels based on the premise that a universal measure of ion solvation in different environments is provided by its average coordination structure in bulk water. This leads to the view that ion selectivity is predominantly controlled by the number of ligands coordinating the ion and that the chemical type of those ligands plays a minor role. The significance of the topological control hypothesis and its ability to predict ion selectivity in protein binding sites are examined. It is shown that the framework encounters increasing difficulties when different protein binding sites with similar coordination numbers are considered.
