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-modulated (HCN) channels are similar in structure and function to voltage-gated potassium channels. Sequence similarity and functional analyses suggest that the HCN pore is potassium channel-like, consisting of a selectivity filter and an activation gate at the outer and inner ends, respectively. In GYG-containing potassium channels, the selectivity filter sequence is 'T/S-V/I/L/T-GYG', forming a row of four binding sites through which potassium ions flow. In HCNs, the equivalent residues are 'C-I-GYG', but whether they also form four cation binding sites is not known. Here, we focus on the anomalous filter residue of HCNs, the cysteine located at the inner side of the selectivity filter. In potassium channels, this position is occupied by threonine or serine and forms the fourth and most internal ion binding site of the selectivity filter. We find that this cysteine in HCNs does not contribute to permeation or form a fourth binding site.
