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 vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor 1 (VPAC(1) ) belongs to family B of GPCRs and is activated upon binding of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and pituitary AC-activating polypeptide neuropeptides. Widely distributed throughout body, VPAC(1) plays important regulatory roles in human physiology and physiopathology. Like most members of the GPCR-B family, VPAC(1) receptor is predicted to follow the actual paradigm of a common 'two-domain' model of natural ligand action. However the precise structural basis for ligand binding, receptor activation and signal transduction are still incompletely understood due in part to the absence of X-ray crystal structure of the whole receptor and to significant structural differences with the most extensively studied family of receptor, the GPCR-A/rhodopsin family. Here, we try to summarize the current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms involved in VPAC(1) receptor activation and signal transduction. This includes search for amino acids involved in the two-step process of VIP binding, in the stabilization of VPAC(1) inactive and active conformations, and in binding and activation of G proteins.
