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

Loss of dopamine neurons is central to the manifestation of Parkinson's disease motor symptoms. The dopamine precursor L-DOPA, the most commonly used therapeutic agent for Parkinson's disease, can restore normal movement yet cause side-effects such as dyskinesias upon prolonged administration. Dopamine D1 and D2 receptors activate G-protein- and arrestin-dependent signaling pathways that regulate various dopamine-dependent functions including locomotion. Studies have shown that shifting the balance of dopamine receptor signaling toward the arrestin pathway can be beneficial for inducing normal movement, while reducing dyskinesias. However, simultaneous activation of both D1 and D2Rs is required for robust locomotor activity. Thus, it is desirable to develop ligands targeting both D1 and D2Rs and their functional selectivity. Here, we report structure-functional-selectivity relationship (SFSR) studies of novel apomorphine analogs to identify structural motifs responsible for biased activity at both D1 and D2Rs.
