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 show marked variations in the time-course of response to ATP application from rapidly desensitizing P2X1 receptors to relatively sustained P2X2 receptors. In this study we have used chimeras between human P2X1 and P2X2 receptors in combination with mutagenesis to address the contribution of the extracellular ligand binding loop, the transmembrane channel, and the intracellular regions to receptor time-course. Swapping either the extracellular loop or both transmembrane domains (TM1 and -2) between the P2X1 and P2X2 receptors had no effect on the time-course of ATP currents in the recipient receptor. These results suggest that the agonist binding and channel-forming portions of the receptor do not play a major role in the control of the time-course. In contrast replacing the amino terminus of the P2X1 receptor with that from the non-desensitizing P2X2 receptor (P2X1-2N) slowed desensitization, and the mirror chimera induced rapid desensitization in the P2X2-1N chimera. These reciprocal effects on time-course can be replicated by changing four variant amino acids just before the first transmembrane (TM1) segment. These pre-TM1 residues also had a dominant effect on chimeras where both TMs had been transferred; mutating the variant amino acids 21-23 to those found in the P2X2 receptor removed desensitization from the P2X1-2TM1/-2 chimera, and the reciprocal mutants induced rapid desensitization in the non-desensitizing P2X2-1TM1/-2 chimera. These results suggest that the intracellular amino terminus, in particular the region just before TM1, plays a dominant role in the regulation of the time-course of ATP evoked P2X receptor currents.
