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 fast transient outward K(+) current (Ito,f) underlies the early phase of myocardial action potential repolarization, contributing importantly to the coordinated propagation of activity in the heart and to the generation of normal cardiac rhythms. Native Ito,f channels reflect the tetrameric assembly of Kv4 pore-forming (α) subunits, and previous studies suggest roles for accessory and regulatory proteins in controlling the cell surface expression and the biophysical properties of Kv4-encoded Ito,f channels. Here, we demonstrate that the targeted deletion of the cytosolic accessory subunit, K(+) channel interacting protein 2 (KChIP2), results in the complete loss of the Kv4.2 protein, the α subunit critical for the generation of mouse ventricular Ito,f. Expression of the Kcnd2 (Kv4.2) transcript in KChIP2(-/-) ventricles, however, is unaffected. The loss of the Kv4.2 protein results in the elimination of Ito,f in KChIP2(-/-) ventricular myocytes. In parallel with the elimination of Ito,f, the slow transient outward K(+) current (Ito,s) is upregulated and voltage-gated Ca(2+) currents (ICa,L) are decreased. In addition, surface electrocardiograms and ventricular action potential waveforms in KChIP2(-/-) and wild-type mice are not significantly different, suggesting that the upregulation of Ito,s and the reduction in ICa,L compensate for the loss of Ito,f. Additional experiments revealed that Ito,f is not 'rescued' by adenovirus-mediated expression of KChIP2 in KChIP2(-/-) myocytes, although ICa,L densities are increased. Taken together, these results demonstrate that association with KChIP2 early in the biosynthetic pathway and KChIP2-mediated stabilization of Kv4 protein are critical determinants of native cardiac Ito,f channel expression.
