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

introductionIn our previous study, we found that negatively charged gold nanoparticles with spermidine have the potential of blocking inwardly rectifying potassium channels (Kir), both at the cellular and the tissue level.

methodsFor the purpose of the present study, we purified the cytoplasmic domain of the Kir 3.1 receptor from Escherichia coli. Using single particles with surface coating by transmission electron microscopy, we identified the gold nanoparticles at the cytoplasmic side of the human Kir channel.

resultsEnergy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy showed the presence of the gold deposits in the cytoplasmic domain of the Kir receptor.

conclusionIn conclusion, we could identify undecagold in the ion pore of the Kir3.1 channel in order to clarify its direct blocking effect in the Kir ion pore by undecagold.
