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

Some recent papers clearly indicate that the cytoplasmic domain of KcsA plays a role in pH sensing. We have performed, for the first time, a targeted molecular dynamics (TMD) simulation of the opening of full-length KcsA at pH 4 and pH 7, with a special interest for the cytoplasmic domain. Association energy calculations show a stabilization at pH 7 confirming that the protonation of some amino-acids at pH 4 in this domain plays a role in the opening process. A careful analysis of the pH dependent charges borne by residues in the cytoplasmic domain and their interactions confirms some literature experimental data and permits to give further insight into the role played by some of them in the opening process.
