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

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a ligand for three endothelial differentiation gene family G protein-coupled receptors, LPA(1-3). We performed computational modeling-guided mutagenesis of conserved residues in transmembrane domains 3, 4, 5, and 7 of LPA(1-3) predicted to interact with the glycerophosphate motif of LPA C18:1. The mutants were expressed in RH7777 cells, and the efficacy (E(max)) and potency (EC(50)) of LPA-elicited Ca(2+) transients were measured. Mutation to alanine of R3.28 universally decreased both the efficacy and potency in LPA(1-3) and eliminated strong ionic interactions in the modeled LPA complexes. The alanine mutation at Q3.29 decreased modeled interactions and activation in LPA(1) and LPA(2) more than in LPA(3). The mutation W4.64A had no effect on activation and modeled LPA interaction of LPA(1) and LPA(2) but reduced the activation and modeled interactions of LPA(3). The R5.38A mutant of LPA(2) and R5.38N mutant of LPA(3) showed diminished activation by LPA; however, in LPA(1) the D5.38A mutation did not, and mutation to arginine enhanced receptor activation. In LPA(2), K7.36A decreased the potency of LPA; in LPA(1) this same mutation increased the E(max). In LPA(3), R7.36A had almost no effect on receptor activation; however, the mutation K7.35A increased the EC(50) in response to LPA 10-fold. In LPA(1-3), the mutation Q3.29E caused a modest increase in EC(50) in response to LPA but caused the LPA receptors to become more responsive to sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). Surprisingly micromolar concentrations of S1P activated the wild type LPA(2) and LPA(3) receptors, indicating that S1P may function as a weak agonist of endothelial differentiation gene family LPA receptors.
