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

Natural small-molecule phenols (NSMPs) possess certain ubiquitous bioactivities including the anxiolytic effect. Ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1) may be one of the potentially critical pharmacological targets for studying the anxiolytic activity of NSMPs. However, detailed molecular mechanisms of NSMPs have not been fully clarified. This research was intended to identify potent hRyR1 agonists from NSMPs and investigate whether RyR1 plays a role in their anxiolytic effect. Homology modeling and molecular docking analysis were performed using Accelrys Discovery Studio 2.5. The most appropriate concentrations of NSMPs to activate RyR1 were measured using the MTT assay. Fluorescence analyses of the intracellular calcium levels and western blotting analysis were carried out to validate whether NSMPs could regulate the calcium flux to some extent by activating RyR1. The results demonstrated that xanthotoxol and 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthalenedione can be screened as hit compounds for potential agonists of hRyR1 to exert the anxiolytic effect. In conclusion, NSMPs might be a kind of pharmacological signal carrier, acting on RyR1 as an agonist and resulting in calcium ion mobilization from intracellular calcium ion store.
