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

1. The Ile693Thr mutation of the skeletal muscle Na+ channel alpha-subunit is associated with an unusual phenotype of paramyotonia congenita characterized by cold-induced muscle weakness but no stiffness. This mutation occurs in the S4-S5 linker of domain II, a region that has not been previously implicated in paramyotonia congenita. 2. The Ile693Thr mutation was introduced into the human skeletal muscle Na+ gene for functional expression in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells. The currents expressed were recorded with the whole-cell voltage-clamp technique. 3. In comparison with wild-type currents, Ile693Thr mutant currents showed a clear shift of about -9 mV in the voltage dependence of activation. 4. In contrast to other mutations of the Na+ channel known to cause paramyotonia congenita, the Ile693Thr mutation did not induce any significant change in the kinetics, nor in the voltage dependence, of fast inactivation. 5. In conclusion, this study provides further evidence of the involvement of the S4-S5 linker in the voltage dependence of Na+ channel activation. The negative shift in the voltage dependence found in this mutation must be associated to other defects, plausibly an impairment of the slow inactivation, to account for the long periods of muscle weakness experienced by the patients.
