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

Signaling via G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is crucial to many physiological and pathophysiological processes in multicellular organisms, and GPCRs themselves are targets for important drugs. Classical cell supplementation experiments suggest a collision coupling model, in which receptors and G proteins diffuse randomly within the cell membrane and interact only if receptors are activated. This model is also backed by kinetic and live cell imaging data. According to the challenging theory, receptors and G proteins are precoupled--meaning they are forming stable complexes in the absence of agonist, which prevail during signaling. This model has been favored on the basis of copurification and coimmunoprecipitation of inactive receptors with G proteins and more recently by some approaches measuring energy transfer between labeled receptors and G proteins. This article reviews key findings regarding the receptor/G protein coupling mode, including most recent findings obtained by optical techniques.
