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 ligand binding at extracellular receptor domains gates a transmembrane ion-conducting pore is insufficiently understood. Examining a channel's activation reaction in the presence of agonists with distinct efficacies may inform this issue and may help identify agonist-dependent transitions. We have recently applied this approach to NMDA receptors composed of GluN1 and GluN2A subunits. Based on our results with several subunit-specific partial agonists we concluded that agonist effects were distributed over several of the multiple transitions that make up NMDA receptor gating and that these changes were subunit independent. Here we examine an additional GluN2A partial agonist, 4-fluoro-D, L-glutamic acid, and we summarize the observed kinetic changes of all nine partial agonists investigated. These results support the premise that regardless of the subunit-type to which they bind, agonists influence multiple equilibria within the NMDA receptor reaction and may stabilize a slightly different family of conformers.
