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

P2X receptors are ATP-gated cation channels. The x-ray structure of a P2X4 receptor provided a major advance in understanding the molecular basis of receptor properties. However, how agonists are coordinated, the extent of the binding site, and the contribution of the vestibules in the extracellular domain to ionic permeation have not been addressed. We have used cysteine-scanning mutagenesis to determine the contribution of residues Glu(52)-Gly(96) to human P2X1 receptor properties. ATP potency was reduced for the mutants K68C, K70C, and F92C. The efficacy of the partial agonist BzATP was also reduced for several mutants forming the back of the proposed agonist binding site. Molecular docking in silico of both ATP and BzATP provided models of the agonist binding site consistent with these data. Individual cysteine mutants had no effect or slightly increased antagonism by suramin or pyridoxal-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonate. Mutants at the entrance to and lining the upper vestibule were unaffected by cysteine-reactive methanethiosulfonate (MTS) reagents, suggesting that it does not contribute to ionic permeation. Mutants that were sensitive to modification by MTS reagents were predominantly found either around the proposed ATP binding pocket or on the strands connecting the binding pocket to the transmembrane region and lining the central vestibule. In particular, ATP sensitivity and currents were increased by a positively charged MTS reagent at the G60C mutant at the interface between the central and extracellular vestibule. This suggests that dilation of the base of the central vestibule contributes to gating of the receptor.
