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

Most mammalian chloride channels and transporters in the CLC family display pronounced voltage-dependent gating. Surprisingly, despite the complex nature of the gating process and the large contribution to it by the transport substrates, experimental investigations of the fast gating process usually produce canonical Boltzmann activation curves that correspond to a simple two-state activation. By using nonlinear capacitance measurements of two mutations in the ClC-5 transporter, here we are able to discriminate and visualize discrete transitions along the voltage-dependent activation pathway. The strong and specific dependence of these transitions on internal and external [Cl(-)] suggest that CLC gating involves voltage-dependent conformational changes as well as coordinated movement of transported substrates.
