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 electrogenic Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransporter NBCe1 encoded by SLC4A4 plays essential roles in the regulation of intracellular/extracellular pH. Homozygous mutations in NBCe1 cause proximal renal tubular acidosis associated with ocular abnormalities. In the present study, we tried to perform functional characterization of the four nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), E122G, S356Y, K558R, and N640I in NBCe1A. Functional analysis in Xenopus oocytes revealed that while the K558R variant had a significantly reduced transport activity corresponding to 47% of the wild-type activity, the remaining variants E122G, S356Y, and N640I did not change the NBCe1A activity. Apparent Na(+) affinity of K558R was not different from that of wild-type NBCe1A. Immunohistological analyses in HEK293 cells and MDCK cells indicated that none of these SNPs changed the trafficking behaviors of NBCe1A. Functional analysis in HEK293 cells also revealed that only the K558R variant had a reduced transport activity, corresponding to 41-47% of the wild-type activity. From these results, we conclude that among four SNPs, only the K558R variant, which is predicted to lie in transmembrane segment 5, significantly reduces the NBCe1A activity without changing the trafficking behavior or the apparent extracellular Na(+) affinity.
