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 recently discovered adipokinetic hormone/corazonin-related peptide (ACP) is an insect neuropeptide structurally intermediate between corazonin (CRZ) and adipokinetic (AKH) hormones, which all demonstrate homology to the vertebrate gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). To date, the function of the ACP signaling system remains unclear. In the present study, we molecularly identified the complete open reading frame encoding the Aedes aegypti ACP receptor (ACPR), which spans nine exons and undergoes alternative splicing giving rise to three transcript variants. Only a single variant, AedaeACPR-I, yielding a deduced 577 residue protein, contains all seven transmembrane domains characteristic of rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptors. Functional deorphanization of AedaeACPR-I using a heterologous cell culture-based system revealed highly-selective and dose-dependent receptor activation by AedaeACP (EC
