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 HERG (KCNH2) channel is a voltage-sensitive potassium channel mainly expressed in cardiac tissue, but has also been identified in other tissues like neuronal and smooth muscle tissue, and in various tumours and tumour cell lines. The function of HERG has been extensively studied, but it is still not clear what mechanisms regulate the surface expression of the channel. In the present report, using human embryonic kidney cells stably expressing HERG, we show that diacylglycerol potently inhibits the HERG current. This is mediated by a protein kinase C-evoked endocytosis of the channel protein, and is dependent on the dynein-dynamin complex. The HERG protein was found to be located only in early endosomes and not lysosomes. Thus, diacylglycerol is an important lipid participating in the regulation of HERG surface expression and function.
