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

Kainate receptors, which are glutamate activated excitatory neurotransmitter receptors, predominantly exist as heteromers of GluK2 and GluK5 subunits in the mammalian central nervous system. There are currently no structures of the full-length heteromeric kainate receptors. Here, we have used single molecule FRET to determine the specific arrangement of the GluK2 and GluK5 subunits within the dimer of dimers configuration in a full-length receptor. Additionally, we have also studied the dynamics and conformational heterogeneity of the amino-terminal and agonist-binding domain interfaces associated with the resting and desensitized states of the full-length heteromeric kainate receptor using FRET-based methods. The smFRET data are compared to similar experiments performed on the homomeric kainate receptor to provide insight into the differences in conformational dynamics that distinguish the two functionally. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Molecular biophysics of membranes and membrane proteins.
