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

aimTo study the effect of changrolin on the K(+) channels encoded by the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG).

methodshERG channels were heterologously stably expressed in human embryonic kidney 293 cells, and the hERG K(+) currents were recorded using a standard whole-cell patch-clamp technique.

resultsChangrolin inhibited hERG channels in a concentration-dependent and reversible manner (IC(50)=18.23 mumol/L, 95% CI: 9.27-35.9 mumol/L; Hill coefficient=-0.9446). In addition, changrolin shifted the activation curve of hERG channels by 14.3+/-1.5 mV to more negative potentials (P<0.01, n=9) but did not significantly affect the steady-state inactivation of hERG (n=5, P>0.05). The relative block of hERG channels by changrolin was close to zero at the time point of channel opening by the depolarizing voltage step and quickly increased afterwards. The maximal block was achieved in the inactivated state, with no further development of the open channel block. In the "envelope of tails" experiments, the time constants of activation were found to be 287.8+/-46.2 ms and 174.2+/-18.4 ms, respectively, for the absence and presence of 30 mumol/L changrolin (P<0.05, n=7). The onset of inactivation was accelerated significantly by changrolin between -40 mV and +60 mV (P<0.05, n=7).

conclusionThe results demonstrate that changrolin is a potent hERG blocker that preferentially binds to hERG channels in the open and inactivated states.
