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

Ionotropic glutamate receptors in vertebrates are composed of three major subtypes - AMPA, kainate, and NMDA receptors - and mediate the majority of fast excitatory neurotransmission at chemical synapses of the central nervous system. Among the three major families, native AMPA receptors function as complexes with a variety of auxiliary subunits, which in turn modulate receptor trafficking, gating, pharmacology, and permeation. Despite the long history of structure-mechanism studies using soluble receptor domains or intact yet isolated receptors, structures of AMPA receptor-auxiliary subunit complexes have not been available until recent breakthroughs in single-particle cryo-electron microscopy. Single particle cryo-EM studies have, in turn, provided new insights into the structure and organization of AMPA receptor - auxiliary protein complexes and into the molecular mechanisms of AMPA receptor activation and desensitization.
