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 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is a member of the important Cys loop ligand-gated ion channel superfamily that modulates neuronal excitability. After they respond to their agonists, their actions are terminated either by removal of ligand or by fast and slow desensitization, processes that play an important role in modulating the duration of conducting states and hence of integrated neuronal behavior. We monitored structural changes occurring during fast and slow desensitization in the transmembrane domain of the Torpedo nAChR using time-resolved photolabeling with the hydrophobic probe 3-(trifluoromethyl)-3-(m-iodophenyl)diazirine (TID). After channel opening, TID photolabels a residue on the delta-subunit's M2-M3 loop and a cluster of four residues on deltaM1 and deltaM2, defining an open state pocket [Arevalo, E., et al. (2005) J. Biol. Chem. 280, 13631-13640]. We now find that photolabeling of this pocket persists during the transition to the fast desensitized state, the extent of photoincorporation decreasing only with the transition to the slow desensitized state. In contrast, the extent of photoincorporation in the channel lumen at the conserved 9'-leucines on the second transmembrane helix (M2-9') decreased successively during the resting to open and open to fast desensitized state transitions, implying that the local conformation is different in each state, a conclusion consistent with the hypothesis that there are separate gates for channel opening and desensitization. Thus, although during fast desensitization there is a conformation change in the channel lumen at the level of M2-9', there is none in the regions of the delta-subunit's M2-M3 loop and the interior of its M1-M4 helix bundle until slow desensitization occurs.
