Cell-based, bioluminescent assay for monitoring the interaction between PCSK9 and the LDL receptor.
Article in Journal of lipid research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Monitoring the expression of cell-surface receptors, their interaction with extracellular ligands, and their fate upon ligand binding is important for understanding receptor function and developing new therapies. We describe a cell-based method that utilizes bioluminescent protein complementation technology to interrogate binding of a cellular receptor with its extracellular protein ligand, specifically LDL receptor (LDLR) and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). Purified, full-length tagged PCSK9 is added to assay wells containing cells that stably express LDLR with an extracellular complementary tag. When the tagged PCSK9 binds the receptor, a bright luminescence signal is generated. The interaction is detected at the cell membrane with add-and-read simplicity, no wash steps, and flexibility, allowing data to be collected in endpoint format, kinetically, or with bioluminescent imaging. The assay is flexible, is rapid, and reports accurate biology. It is amenable to 96-well and 384-well formats, and the robustness allows for screening of new drug candidates (
