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 L-type voltage-gated calcium channel Cav1.2 is important for excitation-contraction coupling in the heart, as well as CREB-mediated transcription in the brain. The ubiquitous calcium-binding protein calmodulin (CaM) is known to modulate calcium-dependent inactivation (CDI) of these channels, thus limiting the amount of calcium entering via Cav1.2 during prolonged or repetitive membrane depolarizations. The proximal N-terminus of Cav1.2 contains a CaM-binding site at residue W52 that is critical for a type of CDI that is mediated by the N-terminal lobe of CaM. Here, we identify a second CaM interaction site in the Cav1.2 N-terminus downstream of the W52 site that is formed by residue C106. We show by site-directed mutagenesis coupled with electrophysiological measurements that this region of the channel functionally partakes in N-lobe CDI, likely by acting as a gating transduction motif. Thus, our data indicate that calcium regulation of Cav1.2 channels is more complex than previously thought, and involves more than one region within the channel's N-terminal domain.
