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 activation of cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels is a complex process comprising the initial ligand binding and a consecutive allosteric transition from a closed to an open configuration. The cone and olfactory CNG channels differ considerably in cyclic nucleotide affinity and efficacy. In each channel, the cyclic nucleotide-binding site is connected to the last transmembrane segment of the channel by a linker peptide (C-linker) of approximately 90 amino acids. Here we report that replacement of three amino acids in the cone C-linker by the corresponding amino acids of the olfactory channel (I439V, D481A and D494S) profoundly enhanced the cAMP efficacy and increased the affinities for cAMP and cGMP. Unlike the wild-type cone channel, the mutated channel exhibited similar single-channel kinetics for both cGMP and cAMP, explaining the increase in cAMP efficacy. We thus conclude that the identified amino acids are major determinants of channel gating.
