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 traditional view of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-mediated signalling puts the players in this signalling cascade, namely the GPCR, the G protein and its effector, as individual components in space, where the signalling specificity is obtained mainly by the interaction of the GPCR and the Galpha subunits of the G protein. A question is then raised as to how fidelity in receptor signalling is achieved, given that many systems use the same components of the G protein signalling machinery. One possible mechanism for obtaining the specific flow of the downstream signals, from the activated G protein to its specific effector target, in a timely manner, is compartmentalization, a spatial arrangement of the complex in a rather restricted space. Here we review our recent findings related to these issues, using the G protein-coupled potassium channel (GIRK) as a model effector and fluorescence-based approaches to reveal how the signalling complex is arranged and how the G protein exerts its action to activate the GIRK channel in intact cells.
