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

The adenosine A(3) receptor together with rhodopsin belongs to Class A of the G-protein coupled receptors. As the crystal structure of bovine rhodopsin represents the dark (inactive) state of the receptor, the details of GPCR activation are still unknown. In this molecular dynamics study we investigate how the homology model of the human adenosine A(3) receptor responds to ligand exposure. To this end we placed the homology model in a POPC membrane model. After equilibrating for 13 ns an agonist (Cl-IB-MECA) and an inverse agonist (PSB-10) were placed inside the putative binding pocket. In the following 10 ns molecular dynamics simulation we observed a different behaviour of the side-chain torsions of Trp243(6.48), depending on the presence or absence of the agonist or inverse agonist. This conformational change of Trp243 correlates with the assumed influence of ligands on receptor activation. Other predicted conformational changes of the receptor could not be observed yet. So Trp243 may represent the first switch in receptor activation.
