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

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) detect compounds on the cell surface and are the starting point of a number of medically relevant signaling cascades. Indeed, over 30% of FDA approved drugs target GPCRs, making them a primary target for drug discovery. Computational and experimental high-throughput screening (HTS) approaches of clinically relevant GPCRs are a first-line drug discovery effort in biomedical research. In this opinion, we review recent advances in GPCR HTS. We focus primarily on cell-based assays, and highlight recent advances in in vitro assays using purified receptors, and computational approaches for GPCR HTS. To date, GPCR HTS has led to the identification of new and repurposing of existing drugs, and the deorphanization of GPCRs with unknown ligands. As automation equipment becomes more common, GPCR HTS will move beyond a drug discovery tool to a key technology to probe basic biological processes that will have an outsized impact on personalized medicine.
