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

Kv1.2 is a prominent potassium channel subtype in the nervous system and serves as an important structural template for investigation of ion channel function. However, Kv1.2 voltage-dependence exhibits dramatic cell-to-cell variability due to a gating mode shift that is regulated by an unknown mechanism. We report that this variable behavior is regulated by the extracellular redox environment. Exposure to reducing agents promotes a shift in gating properties towards an 'inhibited' gating mode that resists opening, and causes channels to exhibit pronounced use-dependent activation during trains of repetitive depolarizations. This sensitivity to extracellular redox potential is absent in other Kv1 channels, but is apparent in heteromeric channels containing Kv1.2 subunits, and overlaps with the reported physiological range of extracellular redox couples. Mutagenesis of candidate cysteine residues fails to abolish redox sensitivity. Therefore, we suggest that an extrinsic, redox-sensitive binding partner imparts these properties.
