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

The connexin family is a diverse group of highly regulated wide-pore channels permeable to biological signaling molecules. Despite the critical roles of connexins in mediating selective molecular signaling in health and disease, the basis of molecular permeation through these pores remains unclear. Here, we report the thermodynamics and kinetics of binding and transport of a second messenger, adenosine-3',5'-cyclophosphate (cAMP), through a connexin26 hemichannel (Cx26). First, inward and outward fluxes of cAMP molecules solvated in KCl solution were obtained from 4 μs of ± 200 mV simulations. These fluxes data yielded a single-channel permeability of cAMP and cAMP/K
