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

Conformational thermostabilisation of G-protein-coupled receptors is a successful strategy for their structure determination. The thermostable mutants tolerate short-chain detergents, such as octylglucoside and nonylglucoside, which are ideal for crystallography, and in addition, the receptors are preferentially in a single conformational state. The first thermostabilised receptor to have its structure determined was the β(1)-adrenoceptor mutant β(1)AR-m23 bound to the antagonist cyanopindolol, and recently, additional structures have been determined with agonist bound. Here, we describe further stabilisation of β(1)AR-m23 by the addition of three thermostabilising mutations (I129V, D322K, and Y343L) to make a mutant receptor that is 31 °C more thermostable than the wild-type receptor in dodecylmaltoside and is 13 °C more thermostable than β(1)AR-m23 in nonylglucoside. Although a number of thermostabilisation methods were tried, including rational design of disulfide bonds and engineered zinc bridges, the two most successful strategies to improve the thermostability of β(1)AR-m23 were an engineered salt bridge and leucine scanning mutagenesis. The three additional thermostabilising mutations did not significantly affect the pharmacological properties of β(1)AR-m23, but the new mutant receptor was significantly more stable in short-chain detergents such as heptylthioglucoside and denaturing detergents such as SDS.
