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

Protein dimerization provides a mechanism for the modulation of cellular signaling events. In α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid (AMPA) receptors, the rapidly desensitizing, activated state has been correlated with a weakly dimeric, glutamate-binding domain conformation. Allosteric modulators can form bridging interactions that stabilize the dimer interface. While most modulators can only bind to one position with a one modulator per dimer ratio, some thiazide-based modulators can bind to the interface in two symmetrical positions with a two modulator per dimer ratio. Based on small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments, dimerization curves for the isolated glutamate-binding domain show that a second modulator binding site produces both an increase in positive cooperativity and a decrease in the EC50 for dimerization. Four body binding equilibrium models that incorporate a second dimer-stabilizing ligand were developed to fit the experimental data. The work illustrates why stoichiometry should be an important consideration during the rational design of dimerizing modulators.
