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

Ca(V)β subunits are formed by a Src homology 3 domain and a guanylate kinase-like (GK) domain connected through a variable HOOK domain. Complete deletion of the Src homology 3 domain (75 residues) as well as deletion of the HOOK domain (47 residues) did not alter plasma membrane density of Ca(V)2.3 nor its typical activation gating. In contrast, six-residue deletions in the GK domain disrupted cell surface trafficking and functional expression of Ca(V)2.3. Mutations of residues known to carry nanomolar affinity binding in the GK domain of Ca(V)β (P175A, P179A, M195A, M196A, K198A, S295A, R302G, R307A, E339G, N340G, and A345G) did not significantly alter cell surface targeting or gating modulation of Ca(V)2.3. Nonetheless, mutations of a quartet of leucine residues (either single or multiple mutants) in the α3, α6, β10, and α9 regions of the GK domain were found to significantly impair cell surface density of Ca(V)2.3 channels. Furthermore, the normalized protein density of Ca(V)2.3 was nearly abolished with the quadruple Ca(V)β3 Leu mutant L200G/L303G/L337G/L342G. Altogether, our observations suggest that the four leucine residues in Ca(V)β3 form a hydrophobic pocket surrounding key residues in the α-interacting domain of Ca(V)2.3. This interaction appears to play an essential role in conferring Ca(V)β-induced modulation of the protein density of Ca(V)α1 subunits in Ca(V)2 channels.
