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 transient receptor potential A1 (TRPA1) receptor is a member of the TRP family and an excitatory nonselective cation channel. An increasing body of evidence suggests that TRPA1 acts as a nociceptor for various chemicals and physical stimuli. Thus, many TRPA1 antagonists have been developed as analgesic agents. Recently, we found that AP18, a mammalian TRPA1 antagonist, does not inhibit heterologously expressed western clawed frog TRPA1 (fTRPA1). Here, we show that fTRPA1 is also insensitive to A967079, one of the most potent mammalian TRPA1 antagonists. Neither heterologously nor endogenously expressed fTRPA1 was inhibited by A967079 upon activation by TRPA1 agonists. Mutant channel analyses revealed that two specific amino acid residues located within the putative fifth transmembrane domain were involved in the inhibitory action of A967079. Our findings and previous reports based on species differences in the sensitivity to TRPA1 antagonists provide novel insights into the structure-function relationship of TRPA1 and supply useful information in the search for new analgesic medicines targeting TRPA1.
