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

Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels are expressed in the brain and heart and are essential for physiological functions in cardiac and nervous systems. We identified two Hcn4 mRNA variants with different transcription start sites and differential expression patterns in mouse brain and heart. Only one mRNA variant was detected in the brain, whereas both variants were found in the heart. Patch clamp recordings of these two variants in HEK293H cells revealed different electrophysiological properties in channel activation. Mutagenesis studies showed that three positively charged amino acids (Arg-9, Lys-10, and Lys-22) contribute to the functional difference. Our results demonstrate that HCN4 channels are expressed in different patterns in mouse brain and heart and that the N terminus is important for HCN4 channel activation.
