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

Mutations in the skeletal isoform of the ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1) pose grave risks during anesthesia or treatment with succinylcholine muscle relaxants. These can trigger a potentially lethal malignant hyperthermia (MH) episode via intracellular calcium increase mainly from RyR1 channel leakage. Dantrolene is the only known treatment option to prevent death. The main target of dantrolene is RyR1; however, little is known about the mechanism of inhibition. Cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of dantrolene bound to the severe MH Y522S RyR1 mutant in the closed and open states at 2.5-3.3 Å resolution revealed that the drug binds to the channel's cytoplasmic assembly, far from the ion gate, interacting with residues W882, W996, and R1000 in the P1 domain. The finding was validated by Ca
