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

Nicotine acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) comprise a family of ligand-gated channels widely expressed in the mammalian brain. The beta2 subunit is an abundant protein subunit critically involved in the cognitive and behavioral properties of nicotine as well as in the mechanisms of nicotine addiction. In this work, we used matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-TOF MS/MS) to uncover protein interactions of the intracellular loop of the beta2 subunit and components of immunoprecipitated beta2-nAChR complexes from mouse brain. Using the beta2-knockout mouse to exclude nonspecific binding to the beta2 antibody, we identify 21 nAChR-interacting proteins (NIPs) expressed in brain. Western blot analysis confirmed the association between the beta2 subunit and candidate NIPs. Based on their functional profiles, the hypothesis is suggested that the identified NIPs can regulate the trafficking and signaling of the beta2-nAChR. Interactions of the beta2 subunit with NIPs such as G protein alpha, G protein-regulated inducer of neurite outgrowth 1, and G protein-activated K(+) channel 1 suggest a link between nAChRs and cellular G protein pathways. These findings reveal intracellular interactions of the beta2 subunit and may contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms of nAChR signaling and trafficking in neurons.
