The Effect of Calcium Ions on the Electrophysiological Properties of Single ANO6 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
Proteins belonging to the anoctamin (ANO) family form calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCCs). The most unusual member of this family, ANO6 (TMEM16F), simultaneously exhibits the functions of calcium-dependent scramblase and the ion channel. ANO6 affects the plasma membrane dynamics and phosphatidylserine transport; it is also involved in programmed cell death. The properties of ANO6 channels remain the subject of debate. In this study, we investigated the effect of variations in the intracellular and extracellular concentrations of calcium ions on the electrophysiological properties of endogenous ANO6 channels by recording single ANO6 channels. It has been demonstrated that (1) a high calcium concentration in an extracellular solution increases the activity of endogenous ANO6 channels, (2) the permeability of endogenous ANO6 channels for chloride ions is independent of the extracellular concentration of calcium ions, (3) that an increase in the intracellular calcium concentration leads to the activation of endogenous ANO6 channels with double amplitude, and (4) that the kinetics of the channel depend on the plasma membrane potential rather than the intracellular concentration of calcium ions. Our findings give grounds for proposing new mechanisms for the regulation of the ANO6 channel activity by calcium ions both at the inner and outer sides of the membrane.
