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

Highly selective drugs offer a way to minimize side-effects. For agonist ligands, this could be through highly selective affinity or highly selective efficacy, but this requires careful measurements of intrinsic efficacy. The α1-adrenoceptors are important clinical targets, and α1-agonists are used to manage hypotension, sedation, attention deficit hypersensitivity disorder (ADHD), and nasal decongestion. With 100 years of drug development, there are many structurally different compounds with which to study agonist selectivity. This study examined 62 α-agonists at the three human α1-adrenoceptor (α1A, α1B, and α1D) stably expressed in CHO cells. Affinity was measured using whole-cell
