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

Widely distributed in all kingdoms of life, voltage sensors in the membrane serve important functions via their movements driven by changes in voltage across the membrane (membrane potential). A voltage sensor domain contains 4 transmembrane segments (S1-S4). The S1-S3 helices form a hydrophobic constriction site (HCS, also known as the gating charge transfer center) that spans roughly one-third of the membrane thickness. Flanked by aqueous vestibules connected to the extracellular solution above the HCS or cytoplasmic solution below the HCS, the HCS forms a gating pore for the S4 segment bearing multiple basic residues. Membrane potential changes cause S4 to move through the HCS in a 3
