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

AMPA receptors play a major role in excitatory neurotransmission in the CNS and are involved in numerous neurological disorders. Agonists bind to each of four bilobed LBDs of this tetrameric receptor, and upon binding, the lobes close to envelope the agonist, leading to channel activation. However, AMPA receptors exhibit complex activation kinetics, the mechanism of which has not yet been determined. We report here single-channel studies of a homomeric AMPA receptor (GluA3) activated by the full agonist, glutamate, and a partial agonist, fluorowillardiine. Both agonists activate the channel to the same three open conductance levels but with different open probabilities in each level. The closed probability (P(c)) varied within records, particularly at low agonist concentrations. By sorting discrete segments of the record according to P(c) using the X-means algorithm, we defined five modes of activity. The kinetic behavior could then be analyzed for both agonists over a range of agonist concentrations with a relatively simple model (three closed states and two open states for each open conductance level). The structural mechanism underlying the modal behavior is not clear; however, it occurs on a timescale consistent with hydrogen bonding across the lobe interface in the LBD.
