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

Glycine receptors play a major role in mediating fast inhibitory neurotransmission in the spinal cord and brain stem, yet their high-resolution structures remain unsolved. We determined open-channel structures of the full-length transmembrane domain (TMD) of the human glycine receptor α1-subunit (hGlyR-α1) using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and electron micrographs. hGlyR-α1 TMD spontaneously forms pentameric Cl(-)-conducting channels, with structures sharing overall topology observed in crystal structures of homologous bacterial and nematode pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs). However, the mammalian hGlyR-α1 structures present several distinctive features, including a shorter, pore-lining TM2 helix with helical unwinding near the C-terminal end, a TM3 helical kink at A288 that partially overlaps with the homologous ivermectin-binding site in GluCl, and a highly dynamic segment between S267(15') of TM2 and A288 that likely affects allosteric modulations of channel function. Our structures provide additional templates for identifying potential drug targets in GlyRs and other mammalian pLGICs.
