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

Although G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) heteromerization has been extensively demonstrated in vitro using heterologous cells that overexpress epitope-tagged receptors, their presence in endogenous systems is less well established. This is because a criterion to identify receptor heteromerization is the demonstration that the two interacting receptors are present not only in the same cell but also in the same subcellular compartment in close enough proximity to allow for direct receptor-receptor interaction. This has been difficult to study in native tissues due to a lack of sensitive and selective tools not only capable of detecting low-abundance proteins but also of demonstrating that they are in sufficiently close proximity to interact. The latter can be achieved using a proximity ligation assay (PLA). Detailed in this unit are protocols for demonstrating the presence of GPCR heteromers in endogenous cells as well as animal and human tissues, the controls required for these assays, and troubleshooting tips. © 2016 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
