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 amphipathic helix 8 in the membrane-proximal C-terminus is a structurally conserved feature of class A seven transmembrane-spanning G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Mutations of this helical motif often cause receptor misfolding, defective cell surface transport and dysfunction. Surprisingly, we demonstrated here that a single point mutation at Lys308 in helix 8 markedly enhanced the steady-state surface density of the angiotensin II type 1a receptor (AT1aR). Consistent with the enhanced cell surface expression, Lys308 mutation significantly augmented AT1aR-mediated mitogen-activated protein kinase ERK1/2 activation, inositol phosphate production, and vascular smooth muscle cell migration. This mutation also increased the overall expression of AT1aR without altering receptor degradation. More interestingly, Lys308 mutation abolished AT1aR interaction with β-COP, a component of COPI transport vesicles, and impaired AT1aR responsiveness to the inhibition of Rab6 GTPase involved in the Golgi-to-ER retrograde pathway. Furthermore, these functions of Lys308 were largely dependent on its positively charged property. These data reveal previously unappreciated functions of helix 8 and novel mechanisms governing the cell surface transport and function of AT1aR.
