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 broad expression pattern of the G protein-coupled P2Y receptors has demonstrated that these receptors are fundamental determinants in many physiological responses, including neuromodulation, vasodilation, inflammation, and cell migration. P2Y receptors couple either G(q) or G(i) upon activation, thereby activating different signaling pathways. Ionotropic ATP (P2X) receptors bind extracellular nucleotides, a signal which is transduced within the P2X protein complex into a cation channel opening, which usually leads to intracellular calcium concentration elevation. As such, this family of proteins initiates or shapes several cellular processes including synaptic transmission, gene expression, proliferation, migration, and apoptosis. The ever-growing range of applications for antibodies in the last 30 years attests to their major role in medicine and biological research. Antibodies have been used as therapeutic tools in cancer and inflammatory diseases, as diagnostic reagents (flow cytometry, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry, to name a few applications), and in widespread use in biological research, including Western blot, immunoprecipitation, and ELISPOT. In this article, we will showcase several of the advances that scientists around the world have achieved using the line of antibodies developed at Alomone Labs for P2Y and P2X receptors.
