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

Intracellular trafficking and spatial dynamics of membrane receptors critically regulate receptor function. Using microscopic and subcellular fractionation analysis, we studied the localization of the murine G protein-coupled receptor G2A (muG2A). Evaluating green fluorescent protein-tagged, exogenously expressed as well as the endogenous muG2A, we observed that this receptor was spontaneously internalized and accumulated in endosomal compartments, whereas its surface expression was enhanced and stabilized by lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) treatment. Monensin, a general inhibitor of recycling pathways, blocked LPC-regulated surface localization of muG2A as well as muG2A-dependent extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation and cell migration induced by LPC treatment. Mutation of the conserved DRY motif (R-->A) enhanced the surface expression of muG2A, resulting in its resistance to monensin inhibition of ERK activation. Our data suggest that intracellular sequestration and surface expression regulated by LPC, rather than direct agonistic activity control the signaling responses of murine G2A toward LPC.
