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 R1185C mutation in WNK4 is associated with pseudohypoaldosteronism type II (PHAII). Unlike other PHAII-causing mutations in the acidic motif, the R1185C mutation is located in the COOH-terminal region of WNK4. The goal of the study is to determine what properties of WNK4 are disrupted by the R1185C mutation. We found that the R1185C mutation is situated in the middle of a calmodulin (CaM) binding site and the mutation reduces the binding of WNK4 to Ca(2+)/CaM. The R1185C mutation is also close to serum- and glucocorticoid-induced protein kinase (SGK1) phosphorylation sites S1190 and S1217. In addition, we identified a novel SGK1 phosphorylation site (S1201) in WNK4, and phosphorylation at this site is reduced by Ca(2+)/CaM. In the wild-type WNK4, the level of phosphorylation at S1190 is the lowest and that at S1217 is the highest. In the R1185C mutant, phosphorylation at S1190 is eliminated and that at S1201 becomes the strongest. The R1185C mutation enhances the positive effect of WNK4 on the Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter 2 (NKCC2) as tested in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Deletion of the CaM binding site or phospho-mimicking at two or three of the SGK1 sites enhances the WNK4 effects on NKCC2. These results indicate that the R1185C mutation disrupts an inhibitory domain as part of the suppression mechanism of WNK4, leading to an elevated WNK4 activity at baseline. The presence of CaM binding and SGK1 phosphorylation sites in or close to the inhibitory domain suggests that WNK4 activity is subject to the regulation by intracellular Ca(2+) and phosphorylation.
