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

Despite their classification as ionotropic glutamate receptors, GluD receptors are not functional ligand-gated ion channels and do not bind glutamate. GluD2 receptors bind D-serine and coordinate transsynaptic complexes that regulate synaptic plasticity. Instead of opening the ion channel pore, mechanical tension produced from closure of GluD2 ligand-binding domains (LBDs) drives conformational rearrangements for non-ionotropic signaling. We report computed conformational free energy landscapes for the GluD2 LBD in apo and D-serine-bound states. Unexpectedly, the conformational free energy associated with GluD2 LBD closure upon D-serine binding is greater than that for AMPA, NMDA, and kainate receptor LBDs upon agonist binding. This excludes insufficient force generation as an explanation for lack of ion channel activity in GluD2 receptors and suggests that non-ionotropic conformational rearrangements do more work than pore opening. We also report free energy landscapes for GluD2 LBD harboring a neurodegenerative mutation and demonstrate selective stabilization of closed conformations in the apo state.
