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

background and purposeReceptor internalisation is by nature kinetic. Application of a standard equilibrium dose response model to describe the properties of a ligand inducing internalisation, while commonly used, are therefore problematic. Here, we propose two quantitative approaches to address this issue-(a) a model-free method and (b) a kinetic modelling approach-and systematically evaluate the performance of these methods against traditional equilibrium methods to characterise the internalisation profiles of cannabinoid CB EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Kinetic internalisation assays were conducted using a concentration series of six CB KEY

resultsRates of receptor internalisation depended on both agonist and concentration. Agonist potencies from snapshot equilibrium analysis increased with stimulation time, and there was no single time point at which internalisation profiles could infer agonist properties in a comparative manner. The model-free method yielded a time-invariant measure of potency/efficacy for internalisation. The kinetic model adequately described the internalisation of CB CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Applying equilibrium analysis to a non-equilibrium pathway cannot provide a reliable estimate of agonist potency. Both the model-free and kinetic modelling approaches characterised the internalisation profiles of CB
