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

Inactivation, the slow cessation of transmission after activation, is a general feature of potassium channels. It is essential for their function, and malfunctions in inactivation leads to numerous pathologies. The detailed mechanism for the C-type inactivation, distinct from the N-type inactivation, remains an active area of investigation. Crystallography, computational simulations, and NMR have greatly enriched our understanding of the process. Here we review the major hypotheses regarding C-type inactivation, particularly focusing on the key role played by NMR studies of the prokaryotic potassium channel KcsA, which serves as a good model for voltage gated mammalian channels.
