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 transmembrane voltage gradient is a general physico-chemical cue that regulates diverse biological function through voltage-gated ion channels. How voltage sensing mediates ion flows remains unknown at the molecular level. Here, we report six conformations of the human Eag2 (hEag2) ranging from closed, pre-open, open, and pore dilation but non-conducting states captured by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). These multiple states illuminate dynamics of the selectivity filter and ion permeation pathway with delayed rectifier properties and Cole-Moore effect at the atomic level. Mechanistically, a short S4-S5 linker is coupled with the constrict sites to mediate voltage transducing in a non-domain-swapped configuration, resulting transitions for constrict sites of F464 and Q472 from gating to open state stabilizing for voltage energy transduction. Meanwhile, an additional potassium ion occupied at positions S6 confers the delayed rectifier property and Cole-Moore effects. These results provide insight into voltage transducing and potassium current across membrane, and shed light on the long-sought Cole-Moore effects.
