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 thyrotropin [thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)] receptor (TSHR) is known to acutely and persistently stimulate cAMP signaling and at higher TSH concentrations to acutely stimulate phosphoinositide signaling. We measured persistent signaling by stimulating TSHR-expressing human embryonic kidney-EM293 cells with TSH and measuring cAMP or inositol monophosphate (IP1) production, a measure of phosphoinositide signaling, 60 min or longer after TSH removal. In contrast to persistent cAMP production, persistent IP1 production increased progressively when TSH exposure was increased from 1 to 30 min, whereas the rates of decay of persistent signaling were similar. A small-molecule agonist and a thyroid-stimulating antibody also caused persistent IP1 and cAMP signaling. A small-molecule inverse agonist and a neutral antagonist inhibited TSH-stimulated persistent IP1 production, whereas the inverse agonist but not the neutral antagonist inhibited persistent cAMP production. As with persistent cAMP production, persistent IP1 production was not affected when TSHR internalization was inhibited or enhanced. Moreover, Alexa546-TSH-activated TSHR internalization was not accompanied by Gα(q) coupling protein internalization. Thus, transient exposure to high concentrations of TSH causes persistent phosphoinositide and cAMP signaling that is not dependent on internalization. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of persistent activation by any G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) via the Gα(q) pathway and of two G protein-mediated pathways by any GPCR.
