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

Potentially immeasurable heterodimer combinations of human G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) result in a great deal of physiological diversity and provide a new opportunity for drug discovery. However, due to the existence of numerous combinations, the sets of GPCR dimers are almost entirely unknown and thus their dominant roles are still poorly understood. Thus, the identification of GPCR dimer pairs has been a major challenge. Here, we established a specialized method to screen potential heterodimer partners of human GPCRs based on the split-ubiquitin membrane yeast two-hybrid system. We demonstrate that the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal-independent method can detect ligand-induced conformational changes and rapidly identify heterodimer partners for target GPCRs. Our data present the abilities to apply for the intermolecular mapping of interactions among GPCRs and to uncover potential GPCR targets for the development of new therapeutic agents.
