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

Connexin (Cx) gap junction channels comprise two hemichannels in neighboring cells, and their permeability is well-described, but permeabilities of the single Cx hemichannel remain largely unresolved. Moreover, determination of isoform-specific Cx hemichannel permeability is challenging because of concurrent expression of other channels with similar permeability profiles and inhibitor sensitivities. The mammalian Cx hemichannels Cx30 and Cx43 are gated by extracellular divalent cations, removal of which promotes fluorescent dye uptake in both channels but atomic ion conductance only through Cx30. To determine the molecular determinants of this difference, here we employed chimeras and mutagenesis of predicted pore-lining residues in Cx43. We expressed the mutated channels in
