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 G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) share a conserved heptahelical fold in the transmembrane (TM) region, but the exact arrangements of the seven TM helices vary with receptors and their activation states. The differences or the changes have been observed in the experimentally solved structures, but have not been systematically and quantitatively investigated due to lack of suitable methods. In this work, we describe a novel method, called 7×7 RMSD matrix that is proposed specifically for comparing the characteristic 7TM bundle structures of GPCRs. Compared to the commonly used overall TM bundle RMSD as a single parameter, a 7×7 RMSD matrix contains 49 parameters, which reveal changes of the relative orientations of the seven TMs. We demonstrate the novelty and advantages of this method by tackling two problems that are challenging for the existing methods. With this method, we are able to identify and quantify the helix movements in the activated receptor structures and reveal structural conservation and divergence as well as the structural relationships of different GPCRs in terms of the relative orientations of the seven TMs.
