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

As a member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels superfamily, the TRPV1 channel undergoes a closed-to-open gating transition in response to various physical and chemical stimuli including heat. Thanks to recent progress in cryo-electron microscopy, high-resolution structures are becoming available for various TRP channels including TRPV1. This has enabled us to study the molecular mechanism of TRPV1 channel gating by using molecular simulation. Here we review recent progress in molecular simulations of TRPV1 channel by us and others, with focus on our molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of TRPV1 at different temperatures. While no consensus has been reached on the heat activation mechanism of TRPV1, the simulations have offered specific predictions and models for future experimental studies to test.
