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

background and purposeGain of function mutations in TRPC6 channels can cause autosomal dominant forms of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Validated inhibitors of TRPC6 channels that are biologically active on FSGS-related TRPC6 mutants are eagerly sought. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: We synthesized new TRPC6-inhibiting modulators from larixol, a resiniferous constituent of Larix decidua, and tested the potency and selectivity in cell lines stably expressing various TRPC channel isoforms. Channel activation was followed by Ca KEY

resultsLC exhibited an about 30-fold preference for TRPC6 over TRPC3 channels and a fivefold preference for TRPC6 over TRPC7 channels. Six FSGS-related TRPC6 mutants, including the highly active M132T and R175Q variants, were strongly inhibited by 1 μM LC. Surprisingly, no TRPC6-related Ca CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: In spite of their low abundance in native podocytes, native TRPC6 channels are targetable using larixol-derived TRPC6 inhibitors. As observed with wild-type TRPC6 channels, FSGS-related TRPC6 mutants were sensitive to the newly developed inhibitors, paving the way for experimental therapies.
