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

N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are transmembrane glutamate-binding ion channels that mediate neurotransmission in mammals. NMDA receptor subunits are tetrameric complexes of GluN1 and GluN2A-D subunits, encoded by the GRIN gene family. Of these subunits, GluN2B is suggested to be required for normal development of the central nervous system. A mutation identified in a patient with developmental delay, E413G, resides in the GluN2B ligand-binding domain and substantially reduces glutamate potency by an unknown mechanism. GluN2B Gly413, though near the agonist, is not in van der Waals contact with glutamate. Visual analysis of the GluN2B structure with the E413G mutation modeled suggests that replacement of Glu with Gly at this position increases solvent access to the ligand-binding domain. This was confirmed by molecular modeling, which showed that the ligand is more mobile in GluN2B-E413G than WT GluN2B. Evaluation of agonist occupancy using random accelerated molecular dynamics (RAMD) simulations predicts that the glutamate exits the binding-site more rapidly for GluN2B-E413G than WT receptors. This analysis was extended to other binding-site mutations, which produced qualitative agreement between experimentally determined EC
