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

α-Conotoxin RgIA is a selective and potent competitive antagonist of rat α9α10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR), but it is much less potent towards human α9α10 nAChR. Furthermore, RgIA is susceptible to proteolytic degradation due to containing four arginine residues. These disadvantages greatly limit its use for clinical applications. The purpose of this research was to identify critical stereocenters of RgIA and discover more stable analogues, enhancing its bioavailability by using the d-amino acid scan method. The activity of each variant was investigated against rat and human α9α10 nAChRs, which were expressed in
