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

Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels mediate rhythmic electrical activity of cardiac pacemaker cells, and in neurons play important roles in setting resting membrane potentials, dendritic integration, neuronal pacemaking, and establishing action potential threshold. Block of HCN channels slows the heart rate and is currently used to treat angina. However, HCN block also provides a promising approach to the treatment of neuronal disorders including epilepsy and neuropathic pain. While several molecules that block HCN channels have been identified, including clonidine and its derivative alinidine, lidocaine, mepivacaine, bupivacaine, ZD7288, ivabradine, zatebradine, and cilobradine, their low affinity and lack of specificity prevents wide-spread use. Different studies suggest that the binding sites of these inhibitors are located in the inner vestibule of HCN channels, but the molecular details of their binding remain unknown. We used computational docking experiments to assess the binding sites and mode of binding of these inhibitors against the recently solved atomic structure of human HCN1 channels, and a homology model of the open pore derived from a closely related CNG channel. We identify a possible hydrophobic groove in the pore cavity that plays an important role in conformationally restricting the location and orientation of drugs bound to the inner vestibule. Our results also help explain the molecular basis of the low-affinity binding of these inhibitors, paving the way for the development of higher affinity molecules.
