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

The activity of single mechanosensitive channels was recorded from cell-attached patches on acutely isolated skeletal muscle fibers from the mouse. The experiments were designed to investigate the mechanism of channel block produced by externally applied aminoglycoside antibiotics. Neomycin and other aminoglycosides reduced the amplitude of the single-channel current at negative membrane potentials. The block was concentration-dependent, with a half-maximal concentration of approximately 200 microM. At high drug concentrations, however, block was incomplete with roughly one third of the current remaining unblocked. Neomycin also caused the channel to fluctuate between the open state and a subconductance level that was also roughly one third the amplitude of the fully open level. An analysis of the kinetics of the subconductance fluctuations was consistent with a bimolecular reaction between an aminoglycoside molecule and the open channel (kon = approximately 1 x 10(6) M-1s-1 and koff = approximately 400 s-1 at -60 mV). Increasing the external pH reduced both the rapid block of the open channel and the frequency of the subconductance fluctuations, as if both blocking actions were produced by a single active drug species with a pKa = approximately 7.5. The results are interpreted in terms of a mechanism in which an aminoglycoside molecule partially occludes ion flow through the channel pore.
