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

Signaling bias is a promising characteristic of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) as it provides the opportunity to develop more efficacious and safer drugs. This is because biased ligands can avoid the activation of pathways linked to side effects whilst still producing the desired therapeutic effect. In this respect, a deeper understanding of receptor dynamics and implicated allosteric communication networks in signaling bias can accelerate the research on novel biased drug candidates. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of computational methods and techniques for studying allosteric communication and signaling bias in GPCRs. This includes (i) the detection of allosteric communication networks and (ii) the application of network theory for extracting relevant information pipelines and highly communicated sites in GPCRs. We focus on the most recent research and highlight structural insights obtained based on the framework of allosteric communication networks and network theory for GPCR signaling bias.
