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

Voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs) allow the passage of Ca(2+) ions through cellular membranes in response to membrane depolarization. The channel pore-forming subunit, α1, and a regulatory subunit (Ca(V)β) form a high affinity complex where Ca(V)β binds to a α1 interacting domain in the intracellular linker between α1 membrane domains I and II (I-II linker). We determined crystal structures of Ca(V)β2 functional core in complex with the Ca(V)1.2 and Ca(V)2.2 I-II linkers to a resolution of 1.95 and 2.0 Å, respectively. Structural differences between the highly conserved linkers, important for coupling Ca(V)β to the channel pore, guided mechanistic functional studies. Electrophysiological measurements point to the importance of differing linker structure in both Ca(V)1 and 2 subtypes with mutations affecting both voltage- and calcium-dependent inactivation and voltage dependence of activation. These linker effects persist in the absence of Ca(V)β, pointing to the intrinsic role of the linker in VDCC function and suggesting that I-II linker structure can serve as a brake during inactivation.
