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

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a central role in a wide range of biological processes and are prime targets for drug discovery. GPCRs have large hydrophobic domains, and therefore purification of GPCRs from cells is frequently time-consuming and typically results in loss of native conformation. In this work, GPCRs have been successfully assembled into the lipid membrane of nanosized bacterial magnetic particles (BMPs) produced by the magnetic bacterium Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1. A BMP-specific protein, Mms16, was used as an anchor molecule, and localization of heterologous Mms16 on BMPs was confirmed by luciferase fusion studies. Stable luminescence was obtained from BMPs bearing Mms16 fused with luciferase at the C-terminal region. D1 dopamine receptor (D1R), a GPCR, was also efficiently assembled onto BMPs by using Mms16 as an anchor molecule. D1R-BMP complexes were simply extracted by magnetic separation from ruptured AMB-1 transformants. After washing, the complexes were ready to use for analysis. This system conveniently refines the native conformation of GPCRs without the need for detergent solubilization, purification, and reconstitution after cell disruption.
