Permeant cations modulate pore dynamics and gating of TRPV1 ion channels.

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
The transient receptor vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a non-selective ion channel, which is activated by several chemical ligands and heat. We have previously shown that activation of TRPV1 by different ligands results in single-channel openings with different conductance, suggesting that the selectivity filter is highly dynamic. TRPV1 is weakly voltage dependent; here, we sought to explore whether the permeation of different monovalent ions could influence the voltage dependence of this ion channel. By using single-channel recordings, we show that TRPV1 channels undergo rapid transitions to closed states that are directly connected to the open state, which may result from structural fluctuations of their selectivity filter. Moreover, we demonstrate that the rates of these transitions are influenced by the permeant ion, suggesting that ion permeation regulates the voltage dependence of these channels. Our data could be the basis for more detailed MD simulations exploring the permeation mechanism and how the occupancy of different ions alters the three-dimensional structure of the pore of TRPV1 channels.
