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 mechanism by which the binding of a neurotransmitter to a receptor leads to channel opening is a central issue in molecular neurobiology. The structure of the agonist binding domain of ionotropic glutamate receptors has led to an improved understanding of the changes in structure that accompany agonist binding and have provided important clues about the link between these structural changes and channel activation and desensitization. However, because the binding domain has exhibited different structures under different crystallization conditions, understanding the structure in the absence of crystal packing is of considerable importance. The orientation of the two lobes of the binding domain in the presence of a full agonist, an antagonist, and several partial agonists was measured using NMR spectroscopy by employing residual dipolar couplings. For some partial agonists, the solution conformation differs from that observed in the crystal. A model of channel activation based on the results is discussed.
