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

Aminoglycosides are polycationic antibiotics that have been shown to block a variety of cation channels. The inhibitory effect of externally applied aminoglycosides on P2X2 receptor currents was examined after heterologous expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes using the two-electrode voltage-clamp technique. All of the aminoglycosides tested inhibited the ATP-evoked responses with potencies ranging from 71 μM to 2 mM (IC(50) values). The ranked order of potency was streptomycin > gentamicin > neomycin > paromomycin > kanamycin. The inhibition of P2X receptor currents was independent of the ATP concentration used for the activation, which is compatible with a noncompetitive mechanism. The inhibition was voltage-dependent and was reduced at more positive membrane potentials. To examine whether the current block was dependent on the receptor conformation, the aminoglycoside effect on a non-desensitizing P2X2-X1 receptor chimera was analyzed. The results from these measurements suggest that inhibition is caused by an open pore block that locks the P2X receptor chimera in an open nonconducting state from which the agonist dissociation is slow. We also demonstrate that the P2X2-X1 chimera can serve as a tool to directly test whether an antagonist acts competitively or not.
