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

MLS1082 is a structurally novel pyrimidone-based D1-like dopamine receptor positive allosteric modulator. Potentiation of D1 dopamine receptor (D1R) signaling is a therapeutic strategy for treating neurocognitive disorders. Here, we investigate the relationship between D1R potentiation and two prominent structural features of MLS1082, namely the pendant N-aryl and C-alkyl groups on the pyrimidone ring. To this end, we synthesized 24 new analogues and characterized their ability to potentiate dopamine signaling at the D1R and the closely related D5R. We identified structure-activity relationship trends for both aryl and alkyl modifications and our efforts afforded several analogues with improvements in activity. The most effective analogues demonstrated an approximately 8-fold amplification of dopamine-mediated D1R signaling. These findings advance the understanding of structural moieties underlying the activity of pyrimidone-based D1R positive allosteric modulators.
