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

The transient receptor potential channel A1 (TRPA1) is unique among ion channels of higher vertebrates in that it harbors a large ankyrin repeat domain. The TRPA1 channel is expressed in the inner ear and in nociceptive neurons. It is involved in hearing as well as in the perception of pungent and irritant chemicals. The ankyrin repeat domain has special mechanical properties, which allows it to function as a soft spring that can be extended over a large range while maintaining structural integrity. A calcium-binding site has been experimentally identified within the ankyrin repeats. We built a model of the N-terminal 17 ankyrin repeat structure, including the calcium-binding EF-hand. In our simulations we find the calcium-bound state to be rigid as compared to the calcium-free state. While the end-to-end distance can change by almost 50% in the apo form, these fluctuations are strongly reduced by calcium binding. This increase in stiffness that constraints the end-to-end distance in the holo form is predicted to affect the force acting on the gate of the TRPA1 channel, thereby changing its open probability. Simulations of the transmembrane domain of TRPA1 show that residue N855, which has been associated with familial episodic pain syndrome, forms a strong link between the S4-S5 connecting helix and S1, thereby creating a direct force link between the N-terminus and the gate. The N855S mutation weakens this interaction, thereby reducing the communication between the N-terminus and the transmembrane part of TRPA1.
