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

We developed a two-site, Eyring rate theory model of ionic permeation for cyclic nucleotide-gated channels (CNGCs). The parameters of the model were optimized by simultaneously fitting current-voltage (IV) data sets from excised photoreceptor patches in electrolyte solutions containing one or more of the following ions: Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and K+. The model accounted well for 1) the shape of the IV relations; 2) the binding affinity for Na+; 3) reversal potential values with single-sided additions of Ca2+ or Mg2+ and biionic KCl; and 4) the K1 and voltage dependence for divalent block from the cytoplasmic side of the channel. The differences between the predicted K1's for extracellular block by Ca2+ and Mg2+ and the values obtained from heterologous expression of only the alpha-subunit of the channel suggest that the beta-subunit or a cell-specific factor affects the interaction of divalent cations at the external but not the internal face of the channel. The model predicts concentration-dependent permeability ratios with single-sided addition of Ca2+ and Mg2+ and anomalous mole fraction effects under a limited set of conditions for both monovalent and divalent cations. Ca2+ and Mg2+ are predicted to carry 21% and 10%, respectively, of the total current in the retinal rod cell at -60 mV.
