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

rationaleCatecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is caused by a single point mutation in a well-defined region of the cardiac type 2 ryanodine receptor (RyR)2. However, the underlying mechanism by which a single mutation in such a large molecule produces drastic effects on channel function remains unresolved.

objectiveUsing a knock-in (KI) mouse model with a human CPVT-associated RyR2 mutation (R2474S), we investigated the molecular mechanism by which CPVT is induced by a single point mutation within the RyR2. METHODS AND

resultsThe R2474S/+ KI mice showed no apparent structural or histological abnormalities in the heart, but they showed clear indications of other abnormalities. Bidirectional or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia was induced after exercise on a treadmill. The interaction between the N-terminal (amino acids 1 to 600) and central (amino acids 2000 to 2500) domains of the RyR2 (an intrinsic mechanism to close Ca(2+) channels) was weakened (domain unzipping). On protein kinase A-mediated phosphorylation of the RyR2, this domain unzipping further increased, resulting in a significant increase in the frequency of spontaneous Ca(2+) transients. cAMP-induced aberrant Ca(2+) release events (Ca(2+) sparks/waves) occurred at much lower sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) content as compared to the wild type. Addition of a domain-unzipping peptide, DPc10 (amino acids 2460 to 2495), to the wild type reproduced the aforementioned abnormalities that are characteristic of the R2474S/+ KI mice. Addition of DPc10 to the (cAMP-treated) KI cardiomyocytes produced no further effect.

conclusionsA single point mutation within the RyR2 sensitizes the channel to agonists and reduces the threshold of luminal [Ca(2+)] for activation, primarily mediated by defective interdomain interaction within the RyR2.
