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

TMEM16A protein, also known as anoctamin-1, has been recently identified as an essential component of Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channels. We previously reported the existence of different TMEM16A isoforms generated by alternative splicing. In the present study, we have determined the functional properties of a minimal TMEM16A protein. This isoform, called TMEM16A(0), has a significantly shortened amino-terminus and lacks three alternative segments localized in the intracellular regions of the protein (total length: 840 amino acids). TMEM16A(0) expression is associated with Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel activity as measured by three different functional assays based on the halide-sensitive yellow fluorescent protein, short-circuit current recordings, and patch-clamp technique. However, compared to a longer isoform, TMEM16(abc) (total length: 982 amino acids), TMEM16A(0) completely lacks voltage-dependent activation. Furthermore, TMEM16A(0) and TMEM16A(abc) have similar but not identical responses to extracellular anion replacement, thus suggesting a difference in ion selectivity and conductance. Our results indicate that TMEM16A(0) has the basic domains required for anion transport and Ca(2+)-sensitivity. However, the absence of alternative segments, which are present in more complex isoforms of TMEM16A, modifies the channel gating and ion transport ability.
