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 yeast pheromone receptor, Ste2p, is a G protein coupled receptor that initiates cellular responses to alpha-mating pheromone, a 13 residue peptide that carries a net positive charge at physiological pH. We have examined the role of extracellular charged groups on the receptor in response to the pheromone. Substitutions of Asn or Ala for one extracellular residue, Asp275, affected both pheromone binding and signaling, suggesting that this position interacts directly with ligand. The other seven extracellular acidic residues could be individually replaced by polar residues with no detectable effects on receptor function. However, substitution of Ala for each of these seven residues resulted in impairment of signaling without affecting pheromone binding, implying that the polar nature of these residues promotes receptor activation. In contrast, substitution of Ala for each of the six positively charged residues at the extracellular surface of Ste2p did not affect signaling.
