Internalization: what does it tell us about pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of an antagonist?
Article in British journal of pharmacology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Chemokine receptors play an important role in trafficking leukocytes within the body, a process that depends on expression of the receptors on the cell surface. Expression levels are regulated by the rate of internalizing receptor compared to the rate of recycling/recovering receptor. Internalization is commonly induced by binding of agonists to their receptors that in turn use clathrin-coated pits or caveolae to internalize. Joplin and colleagues describe a novel usage of internalization assays to determine pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationships of an antagonist on CXCR3 in a murine system. Intriguingly their results show that internalization assays give robust data about the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of different agonists and antagonists in an in vivo model. This kind of assay will allow investigations of the pharmacological properties of agonists and antagonists in a completely different setting and also give new insight into the regulation of cell surface expression of chemokine receptors and other G protein-coupled receptors, which can lead to potential novel therapeutic targets.
