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) are the largest human membrane receptor family regulating a wide range of cell signaling. For this reason, GPCRs are highly desirable drug targets, with approximately 40% of prescribed medicines targeting a member of this receptor family. The structural homology of GPCRs and the broad spectrum of applications of GPCR-acting drugs suggest an investigation of the cross-activity of a drug toward different GPCR receptors with the aim of rationalizing drug side effects, designing more selective and less toxic compounds, and possibly proposing off-label therapeutic applications. Herein, we present an original
