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

Ion channels are critical to life and respond rapidly to stimuli to evoke physiological responses. Calcium influx into heart muscle occurs through the ion conducting α1C subunit (Cav1.2) of the L-type Ca(2+) channel. Glutathionylation of Cav1.2 results in increased calcium influx and is evident in ischemic human heart. However controversy exists as to whether direct modification of Cav1.2 is responsible for altered function. We directly assessed the function of purified human Cav1.2 in proteoliposomes. Truncation of the C terminus and mutation of cysteines in the N terminal region and cytoplasmic loop III-IV linker did not alter the effects of thiol modifying agents on open probability of the channel. However mutation of cysteines in cytoplasmic loop I-II linker altered open probability and protein folding assessed by thermal shift assay. We find that C543 confers sensitivity of Cav1.2 to oxidative stress and is sufficient to modify channel function and posttranslational folding. Our data provide direct evidence for the calcium channel as a redox sensor that facilitates rapid physiological responses.
