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

Pannexin1 (Panx1) is an integral membrane protein comprised of three species as follows: an unglycosylated core-Gly0, a high mannose-Gly1, and a complex glycosylated Gly2 species. Although Panx1 channels mediate several cellular responses, the domain regulating its oligomerization and cell surface trafficking and the mechanisms governing its internalization and degradation have not been identified. This study characterizes the role of the Panx1 C-tail domain by truncating the polypeptide at residue 307 and expressing the mutant in BICR-M1R(k) and HEK-293T cells. Enzymatic digestion and immunolabeling assays revealed that the Panx1(T307)-RFP was glycosylated primarily to the high mannose species consistent with its retention in the endoplasmic reticulum. Co-expression of Panx1(T307)-RFP with Panx1 followed by co-immunoprecipitation assays revealed that the mutant and Panx1 could interact, whereas biotinylation assays showed that this interaction inhibited Panx1 from maturing into the Gly2 species and reaching the cell surface. Additional inhibitor studies indicated that the degradation of the mutant was via proteasomes, whereas Panx1 was degraded by lysosomes. Analysis of the pathways important in Panx1 internalization revealed partial co-distribution of Panx1 with many molecular constituents of the endocytic machinery that include clathrin, AP2, dynamin II, caveolin-1, and caveolin-2. However, co-immunoprecipitation assays together with the disruption of lipid rafts by methyl-β-cyclodextrin suggest that Panx1 does not engage this endocytic machinery. Furthermore, dominant-negative and pharmacological studies revealed that Panx1 internalization was dynamin II-independent. Collectively, these results indicate that the oligomerization and trafficking of Panx1 are regulated by the C-terminal domain, whereas internalization of long lived Panx1 channels occurs in a manner that is distinct from classical endocytic pathways.
