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

NMDA receptors are a diverse family of excitatory channels with critical roles in central synaptic transmission, development, and plasticity. Controlled expression of seven subunits and their combinatorial assembly into tetrameric receptors produces a range of molecularly distinct receptor subtypes. Despite relatively similar atomic structures, each subtype has input-output functions with unique biophysical and pharmacologic profiles. Here, we briefly summarize recent advances in understanding how gating and allosteric modulation are similar or distinct across NMDA receptor isoforms and identify open questions that will focus research in this area going forward.
