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

We developed a general cell-based photocrosslinking approach to investigate the binding interfaces necessary for the formation of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling complexes. The two photoactivatable unnatural amino acids p-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine and p-azido-L-phenylalanine were incorporated by amber codon suppression technology into CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). We then probed the ligand-binding site for the HIV-1 coreceptor blocker, T140, using a fluorescein-labeled T140 analogue. Among eight amino acid positions tested, we found a unique UV-light-dependent crosslink specifically between residue 189 and T140. These results are evaluated with molecular modeling using the crystal structure of CXCR4 bound to CVX15.
