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

Biochemical assessment of channel structure/function is incredibly challenging. Developing computational tools that provide these data would enable translational research, accelerating mechanistic experimentation for the bench scientist studying ion channels. Starting with the premise that protein sequence encodes information about structure, function and evolution (SF&E), we developed a unified framework for inferring SF&E from sequence information using a knowledge-based approach. The Gestalt Domain Detection Algorithm-Basic Local Alignment Tool (GDDA-BLAST) provides phylogenetic profiles that can model, ab initio, SF&E relationships of biological sequences at the whole protein, single domain and single-amino acid level.1,2 In our recent paper,4 we have applied GDDA-BLAST analysis to study canonical TRP (TRPC) channels1 and empirically validated predicted lipid-binding and trafficking activities contained within the TRPC3 TRP_2 domain of unknown function. Overall, our in silico, in vitro, and in vivo experiments support a model in which TRPC3 has signal-sensing antennae which are adorned with lipid-binding, trafficking and calmodulin regulatory domains. In this Addendum, we correlate our functional domain analysis with the cryo-EM structure of TRPC3.3 In addition, we synthesize recent studies with our new findings to provide a refined model on the mechanism(s) of TRPC3 activation/deactivation.
