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

Mammalian cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) ion channels play a fundamental role in signal transduction within the visual and olfactory sensory cells, converting external stimuli into electrical signals. Here, using large-scale atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of three different constructs under applied transmembrane voltages, we uncover the atomistic mechanism of monovalent cation permeation in the homotetrameric CNGA1 channel. Owing to the high plasticity and large dimensions of its selectivity filter (SF), monovalent cation binding within the SF of the CNGA1 channel is more dynamic and diffuse compared to that in potassium-selective and hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels.
