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

Structural determinants of ligand efficacy in the human A(3) adenosine receptor (AR) were studied using pharmacophore and docking analyses of various categories of A(3) selective ligands: inverse agonist, neutral antagonist (nonnucleoside and nucleoside), and agonist (partial and full). The homology modeling of GPCRs was adapted to provide two templates: the rhodopsin-based resting state for antagonist binding and a putative Meta I state, conformationally altered at a key residue (W6.48), for agonist binding. The preferential binding domains and/or local conformational changes associated with docking of three high affinity A(3)AR ligands were compared: inverse agonist PSB-11 1 ((R)-8-ethyl-4-methyl-2-phenyl-imidazo[2,1-i]purin-5-one); neutral antagonist MRE-3008F20 7 (5-[[(4-methoxyphenyl)amino]carbonyl]amino-8-methyl-2-(2-furyl)pyra-zolo[4,3-e]1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine), and full agonist Cl-IB-MECA 21 (2-chloro-N(6)-(3-iodobenzyl)-5'-N-methylcarboxamidoadenosine) to define a distinct recognition mode for each. Ribose-containing agonists were more hydrophilic than nonnucleoside antagonists, and H-bonding ability at the ribose 3'- and 5'-positions was required for agonism. From the receptor perspective, common requirements for activation included the destabilization of H-bond networks at W6.48 and H7.43, the specific interactions of the ribose moiety in its putative hydrophilic pocket at T3.36, S7.42, and H7.43, the stabilization of the complex by inward movement of F5.43, and the characteristic rotation of W6.48. By analogy, outward rotation of the W6.48 side-chain upon activation of an internally-crosslinking mutant M(3) muscarinic receptor was indicated by constrained molecular dynamics (MD). Our results are consistent with an anti-clockwise rotation (from the extracellular view) of transmembrane domains 3, 5, 6, and 7, as proposed for other Family A GPCRs. Thus, the putative conformational changes associated with A(3)AR activation indicate a shared mechanism of GPCR activation similar to rhodopsin.
