Aquaporin splice variation differentially modulates channel function during marine teleost egg hydration.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Aquaporin-mediated oocyte hydration is a developmentally regulated adaptive mechanism that co-occurs with meiosis resumption in marine teleosts. It provides the early embryos with vital water until osmoregulatory systems develop, and in the majority of marine teleosts causes their eggs to float. Recent studies have shown that the subdomains of two water channels (Aqp1ab1 and Aqp1ab2) encoded in a teleost-specific aquaporin-1 cluster (TSA1C) co-evolved with duplicated Ywhaz-like (14-3-3ζ-like) binding proteins to differentially control their membrane trafficking for maximal egg hydration. Here, we report that in species that encode the full TSA1C, in-frame intronic splice variants of Aqp1ab1 result in truncated proteins that cause dominant-negative inhibition of the canonical channel trafficking to the plasma membrane. The inhibition likely occurs through hetero-oligomerization and retention in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and ultimate degradation. Conversely, in species that only encode the Aqp1ab2 channel we found an in-frame intronic splice variant that results in an intact protein with an extended extracellular loop E, and an out-of frame intronic splice variant with exon readthrough that results in a truncated protein. Both isoforms cause dominant-negative enhancement of the degradation pathway. However, the extended and truncated Aqp1ab2-type variants can also partially escape from the ER to reach the oocyte plasma membrane, where they dominantly-negatively inhibit water flux. The ovarian follicular expression ratios of the Aqp1ab2 isoforms in relation to the canonical channel are lowest during oocyte hydration, but subsequently highest when the canonical channel is recycled, thus leaving the eggs endowed with >90% water. These findings suggest that the expression of inhibitory isoforms of Aqp1ab1 and Aqp1ab2 may represent a new regulatory mechanism through which the cell-surface expression and the activity of the canonical channels can be physiologically modulated during oocyte hydration in marine teleosts.
