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

This study describes the interaction between Cav2 calcium channels and Rabconnectin-3, a di-subunit protein that is associated with synaptic vesicles. Immunostaining reveals that both Rabconnectin-3α (RB-3α) and Rabconnectin-3β (RB-3β) are colocalized in mouse hippocampal neurons. Co-immunoprecipitations from brain tissue is consistent with the formation of a protein complex between RB-3α and RB-3β and both Cav2.2 and the related Cav2.1 calcium channel. The coexpression of either RB-3α or RB-3β with Cav2.2 calcium channels in tsA-201 cells led to a reduction in Cav2.2 current density without any effects on the voltage-dependence of activation or inactivation. Coexpression of both Rabconnectin-3 subunits did not cause an additive effect on current densities. Finally, the presence of Rabconnectin-3 did not interfere with μ-opioid receptor mediated Gβγ modulation of Cav2.2 channels. Altogether, our findings show that Rabconnectin-3 has the propensity to regulate calcium entry mediated by Cav2.2 channels.
