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

Membrane ion channels activated by extracellular ATP (P2X receptors) are widely distributed in the nervous system. Their molecular architecture is fundamentally distinct from that of the nicotinic or glutamate receptor families. We have measured single-channel currents, spontaneous gating, and rectification of rat P2X2 receptor in which polar and charged residues of the second transmembrane domain (TM2) were systematically probed by mutagenesis. The results suggest that Asn(333) and Asp(349) lie respectively in external and internal vestibules. Substitutions at Asn(333), Thr(336), and Ser(340) were particularly likely to cause spontaneously active channels. At Thr(336), Thr(339), and Ser(340), the introduction of positive charge (Arg, Lys, or His, or Cys followed by treatment with 2-aminoethyl methanethiosulphonate) greatly enhanced outward currents, suggesting that side-chains of these three residues are exposed in the permeation pathway of the open channel. These functional findings are interpreted in the context of the recently reported 3.1 A crystal structure of the zebrafish P2X4.1 receptor in the closed state. They imply that the gate is formed by residues Asn(333) to Thr(339) and that channel opening involves a counter-clockwise rotation and separation of the TM2 helices.
