Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism due to a novel missense mutation in the first extracellular loop of the neurokinin B receptor.
Article in The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 57 papers.
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.
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
contextThe neurokinin B (NKB) receptor, encoded by TACR3, is widely expressed within the central nervous system, including hypothalamic nuclei involved in regulating GnRH release. We have recently reported two mutations in transmembrane segments of the receptor and a missense mutation in NKB in patients with normosmic isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (nIHH). PATIENTS AND
methodsWe sequenced the TACR3 gene in a family in which three siblings had nIHH. The novel mutant receptor thus identified was studied in a heterologous expression system using calcium flux as the functional readout.
resultsAll affected siblings were homozygous for the His148Leu mutation, in the first extracellular loop of the NKB receptor. The His148Leu mutant receptor exhibited profoundly impaired signaling in response to NKB (EC(50) = 3 +/- 0.1 nm and >5 microm for wild-type and His148Leu, respectively). The location of the mutation in an extracellular part of the receptor led us also to test whether senktide, a synthetic NKB analog, may retain ability to stimulate the mutant receptor. However, the signaling activity of the His148Leu receptor in response to senktide was also severely impaired (EC(50) = 1 +/- 1 nm for wild-type and no significant response of His148Leu to 10 microm).
conclusionsHomozygosity for the TACR3 His148Leu mutation leads to failure of sexual maturation in humans, whereas signaling by the mutant receptor in vitro in response to either NKB or senktide is severely impaired. These observations further strengthen the link between NKB, the NKB receptor, and regulation of human reproductive function.
