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 skeletal muscle sodium channel mutant I1160V cosegregates with a disease phenotype producing myotonic discharges (observed as muscle stiffness) that are worsened by elevated K+ levels but unaffected by cooling. The I1160V alpha-subunit was co-expressed with the beta1-subunit in Xenopus oocytes. An electrophysiological characterization was undertaken to examine the underlying biophysical characteristics imposed by this mutation. Two abnormalities were found. 1) The voltage dependence of steady-state fast inactivation was reduced in I1160V, which resulted in faster rates of closed-state fast inactivation onset and recovery in I1160V compared with wild-type channels. 2) The rates of deactivation were slower in I1160V than in wild-type channels. Using a computer-simulated model, the combination of both defects elicited myotonic runs under conditions of elevated K+, consistent with the observed phenotype of the mutant.
