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

Dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR), an L-type Ca(2+) channel complex, plays an essential role in muscle contraction, secretion, integration of synaptic input in neurons and synaptic transmission. The molecular architecture of DHPR complex remains elusive. Here we present a 15-Å resolution cryo-electron microscopy structure of the skeletal DHPR/L-type Ca(2+) channel complex. The DHPR has an asymmetrical main body joined by a hook-like extension. The main body is composed of a "trapezoid" and a "tetrahedroid". Homologous crystal structure docking and site-specific antibody labelling revealed that the α1 and α2 subunits are located in the "trapezoid" and the β subunit is located in the "tetrahedroid". This structure revealed the molecular architecture of a eukaryotic Ca(2+) channel complex. Furthermore, this structure provides structural insights into the key elements of DHPR involved in physical coupling with the RyR/Ca(2+) release channel and shed light onto the mechanism of excitation-contraction coupling.
