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

Despite recent progress in our understanding of renal magnesium (Mg(2+)) handling, the molecular mechanisms accounting for transepithelial Mg(2+) transport are still poorly understood. Mutations in the TRPM6 gene, encoding the epithelial Mg(2+) channel TRPM6 (transient receptor potential melastatin 6), have been proven to be the molecular cause of hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia (HSH; OMIM 602014). HSH manifests in the newborn period being characterized by very low serum Mg(2+) levels (<0.4 mmol/l) accompanied by low serum calcium (Ca(2+)) concentrations. A proportion of previously described TRPM6 mutations lead to a truncated TRPM6 protein resulting in a complete loss-of-function of the ion channel. In addition, five-point mutations have been previously described. The aim of this study was to complement the current clinical picture by adding the molecular data from five new missense mutations found in five patients with HSH. To this end, patch-clamp analysis and cell surface measurements were performed to assess the effect of the various mutations on TRPM6 channel function. All mutant channels, expressed in HEK293 cells, showed loss-of-function, whereas no severe trafficking impairment to the plasma membrane surface was observed. We conclude that the new TRPM6 missense mutations lead to dysregulated intestinal/renal Mg(2+) (re)absorption as a consequence of loss of TRPM6 channel function.
