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

Introduction: The potassium chloride cotransporter 4 (KCC4) is expressed in various tissues and plays an important role in distal renal acidification and hearing development. Although KCCs transport K Methods: In a comprehensive analysis, we analyzed here the consequences of point mutation of residues coordinating potassium, and chloride in the first (Cl Results: Surprisingly, not all highly conserved coordination sites in KCC4 are essential. Three out of five residues (N Conclusion: Thus, the different relevance of the ion coordination sites between KCC2 and KCC4 cannot be attributed solely to the different structured LEL; other structural elements must also be involved here.
