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

Subfamilies of voltage-activated K+ channels (Kv1-4) contribute to controlling neuron excitability and the underlying functional parameters. Genes encoding the multiple alpha subunits from each of these protein groups have been cloned, expressed and the resultant distinct K+ currents characterized. The predicted amino acid sequences showed that each alpha subunit contains six putative membrane-spanning alpha-helical segments (S1-6), with one (S4) being deemed responsible for the channels' voltage sensing. Additionally, there is an H5 region, of incompletely defined structure, that traverses the membrane and forms the ion pore; residues therein responsible for K+ selectively have been identified. Susceptibility of certain K+ currents produced by the Shaker-related subfamily (Kv1) to inhibition by alpha-dendrotoxin has allowed purification of authentic K+ channels from mammalian brain. These are large (M(r) approximately 400 kD), octomeric sialoglycoproteins composed of alpha and beta subunits in a stoichiometry of (alpha)4(beta)4, with subtypes being created by combinations of subunit isoforms. Subsequent cloning of the genes for beta 1, beta 2 and beta 3 subunits revealed novel sequences for these hydrophilic proteins that are postulated to be associated with the alpha subunits on the inner side of the membrane. Coexpression of beta 1 and Kv1.4 subunits demonstrated that this auxiliary beta protein accelerates the inactivation of the K+ current, a striking effect mediate by an N-terminal moiety. Models are presented that indicate the functional domains pinpointed in the channel proteins.
