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 most powerful analgesic and addictive properties of opiate alkaloids are mediated by the μ opioid receptor (MOR). The MOR has been extensively investigated as a drug target in the twentieth century, with numerous compounds of varying efficacy being identified. We employed molecular dynamics and Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics techniques to identify the binding mechanisms of MORs to BU72 (agonist) and β-funaltrexamine (antagonist). Our approach theoretically suggests that the 34 residues (Lys209-Phe221 and Ile301-Cys321) of the MORs were the key regions enabling the two compounds to bind to the active site of the MORs. When the MORs were in the holo form, the key region was in the open conformation. When the MORs were in the apo form, the key region was in the closed conformation. The key region might be responsible for the selectivity of new MOR agonists and antagonists.
