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

Recent years have revealed a high degree of structural organisation in the way in which cell-surface receptors and their associated signalling complexes interact at a molecular level. Fluorescence-based techniques have been at the forefront of methodologies used to investigate this organisation and dissect the pharmacology of drug-receptor interactions at the single-cell level. One such technique, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), in conjunction with a fluorescent ligand or receptor, is capable of providing quantitative information about the number of receptors and their mobilities within small areas of the cell membrane that approach the size of some signalling domains. This article describes the use of FCS to perform subcellular quantitative pharmacology, with particular reference to G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). In conjunction with other forms of fluctuation analysis, such as two-colour cross-correlation FCS and molecular brightness analysis, FCS provides the first opportunity to investigate the domain-specific nature of GPCR pharmacology.
