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 charge versus voltage relation of voltage-sensor domains shifts in the voltage axis depending on the initial voltage. Here we show that in nonconducting W434F Shaker K(+) channels, a large portion of this charge-voltage shift is apparent due to a dramatic slowing of the deactivation gating currents, Ig(D) (with τ up to 80 ms), which develops with a time course of ∼1.8 s. This slowing in Ig(D) adds up to the slowing due to pore opening and is absent in the presence of 4-aminopyridine, a compound that prevents the last gating step that leads to pore opening. A remaining 10-15 mV negative shift in the voltage dependence of both the kinetics and the charge movement persists independently of the depolarizing prepulse duration and remains in the presence of 4-aminopyridine, suggesting the existence of an intrinsic offset in the local electric field seen by activated channels. We propose a new (to our knowledge) kinetic model that accounts for these observations.
