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

Claudin polymers constitute the tight junction (TJ) backbone that forms paracellular barriers, at least for bigger solutes. While some claudins also seal the barrier for small electrolytes, others form ion channels. For cation-selective claudin-15 and claudin-10b, structural models of channels embedded in homo-polymeric strands have been suggested. Here, we generated a model for the prototypic anion-selective claudin-10a channel. Based on previously established claudin-10b models, dodecamer homology models of claudin-10a embedded in two membranes were analyzed by molecular dynamics simulations. The results indicate that both claudin-10 isoforms share the same strand and channel architecture: Sidewise unsealed tetrameric pore scaffolds are interlocked with adjacent pores via the β1β2 loop of extracellular segment 1. This leads to TJ-like strands with claudin subunits arranged in four joined rows in two opposing membranes. Several but not all
