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

Cannabinoids exert therapeutic effects on several diseases such as chronic pain and startle disease by targeting glycine receptors (GlyRs). Our previous studies have shown that cannabinoids target a serine residue at position 296 in the third transmembrane helix of the α1/α3 GlyR. This site is located on the outside of the ion channel protein at the lipid interface where the cholesterol concentrates. However, whether membrane cholesterol regulates cannabinoid-GlyR interaction remains unknown. Here, we show that GlyRs are closely associated with cholesterol/caveolin-rich domains at subcellular levels. Membrane cholesterol reduction significantly inhibits cannabinoid potentiation of glycine-activated currents in cultured spinal neurons and in HEK 293T cells expressing α1/α3 GlyRs. Such inhibition is fully rescued by cholesterol replenishment in a concentration-dependent manner. Molecular docking calculations further reveal that cholesterol regulates cannabinoid enhancement of GlyR function through both direct and indirect mechanisms. Taken together, these findings suggest that cholesterol is critical for the cannabinoid-GlyR interaction in the cell membrane.
