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 human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) protein is a cardiac potassium channel. Mutations in hERG can result in reductions in membrane channel current, cardiac repolarization, prolongation of QT intervals, and lethal arrhythmia. In the last decade, it has been found that some mutants of hERG involved in long QT syndrome exhibit intracellular protein trafficking defects, while other mutants sort to the membrane but cannot form functional channels. Due to the close relationship between intracellular trafficking and functional protein expression, we aimed to measure differences in protein behavior/motion between wild-type and mutant hERG by directly analyzing the fluorescence fluctuations of green fluorescent protein-labeled proteins using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). Our data imply that FCS can be applied as a new diagnostic tool to assess whether the defect in a particular mutant channel protein involves aberrant intracellular trafficking.
