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

Mutations in the KCNA1 gene encoding the voltage-gated potassium (K+) channel Kv1.1 have been linked to rare neurological syndromes, episodic ataxia type 1 (EA1) and myokymia. In 2009, a KCNA1 mutation was identified in a large family with autosomal dominant hypomagnesemia. Despite efforts in establishing a genotype-phenotype correlation for the wide variety of symptoms in EA1, little is known on the serum magnesium (Mg2+) levels in these patients. In the present study, we describe a new de novo KCNA1 mutation in a Polish patient with tetany and hypomagnesemia. Electrophysiological and biochemical analyses were performed to determine the pathogenicity of the mutation. A female patient presented with low serum Mg2+ levels, renal Mg2+ wasting, muscle cramps, and tetanic episodes. Whole exome sequencing identified a p.Leu328Val mutation in KCNA1 encoding the Kv1.1 K+ channel. Electrophysiological examinations demonstrated that the p.Leu328Val mutation caused a dominant-negative loss of function of the encoded Kv1.1 channel. Cell surface biotinylation showed normal plasma membrane expression. Taken together, this is the second report linking KCNA1 with hypomagnesemia, thereby emphasizing the need for further evaluation of the clinical phenotypes observed in patients carrying KCNA1 mutations.
