The role of N53Q mutation on the rat mu-opioid receptor function.

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
Glycosylation of the mu-opioid receptor may play an important role on its function. Using nested PCR, N53Q mutation was prepared in the N-terminal region of the rat mu-opioid receptor cDNA and cloned into the pcDNA3 vector. The plasmids containing the wild-type and mutated receptor cDNA were transfected into the COS-7 cells. Intracellular cAMP was measured in the morphine-treated and untreated transfected cells using an ELISA kit. Plasmid expression was evaluated using X-gal staining. Intracellular concentration of cAMP in the N53Q-mutated cells was not significantly different from the wild-type. The expression of the transfected plasmids was confirmed. Therefore, based on these results, it seems that glycosylation at the N53 site of the rat mu-opioid receptor does not influence the function of this receptor significantly.
