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

In the closed structure of the P2X cation channel, three α-helical transmembrane domains cross the membrane obliquely. In rat P2X2 receptors, these intersect at Thr(339). Replacing Thr(339) by lysine in one, two or three subunits progressively increased chloride permeability and reduced unitary conductance. This implies that the closed-open transition involves a symmetrical separation of the three subunits and that Thr(339) from each subunit contributes symmetrically to the open channel permeation pathway.
