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

Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-sensitive nonselective cation (HCN) channels are activated by membrane hyperpolarization, in contrast to the vast majority of other voltage-gated channels that are activated by depolarization. The structural basis for this unique characteristic of HCN channels is unknown. Interactions between the S4-S5 linker and post-S6/C-linker region have been implicated previously in the gating mechanism of HCN channels. We therefore introduced pairs of cysteines into these regions within the sea urchin HCN channel and performed a Cd(2+)-bridging scan to resolve their spatial relationship. We show that high affinity metal bridges between the S4-S5 linker and post-S6/C-linker region can induce either a lock-open or lock-closed phenotype, depending on the position of the bridged cysteine pair. This suggests that interactions between these regions can occur in both the open and closed states, and that these regions move relative to each other during gating. Concatenated constructs reveal that interactions of the S4-S5 linker and post-S6/C-linker can occur between neighboring subunits. A structural model based on these interactions suggests a mechanism for HCN channel gating. We propose that during voltage-dependent activation the voltage sensors, together with the S4-S5 linkers, drive movement of the lower ends of the S5 helices around the central axis of the channel. This facilitates a movement of the pore-lining S6 helices, which results in opening of the channel. This mechanism may underlie the unique voltage dependence of HCN channel gating.
