The Beta-Arrestin-Biased Dopamine D2 Receptor Ligand, UNC9994, Is a Partial Agonist at G-Protein-Mediated Potassium Channel Activation.
Article in The international journal of neuropsychopharmacology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Background: Previous evidence suggests that UNC9994 is a beta-arrestin2-selective agonist at the dopamine D2 receptor, lacking ability both to activate and antagonize G protein-dependent signaling. However, this has only been reported by one laboratory using a single assay. Methods: We used G protein-coupled inward rectifier potassium channel activation in Xenopus oocytes to investigate UNC9994-induced modulation of G protein-dependent signaling at dopamine D2 receptor and dopamine D3 receptor. Results: At dopamine D2 receptor, UNC9994 induced G protein-coupled inward rectifier potassium channel currents that were 15% of the maximal response to dopamine, with an EC50 of 185 nM. At dopamine D3 receptor, the ligand elicited 89% of the maximal dopamine response with an EC50 of 62 nM. Pertussis toxin abolished G protein-coupled inward rectifier potassium channel activation. Furthermore, UNC9994 antagonized dopamine-induced G protein-coupled inward rectifier potassium channel activation at dopamine D2 receptor. Conclusions: UNC9994 modulates G protein-coupled inward rectifier potassium channel channel activation via pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins at dopamine D2 receptor and dopamine D3 receptor. These findings may have implications for the interpretation of data obtained with this ligand.
