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

aimsN-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors play subunit-specific role in central neuronal development. However, insights into the pharmacological modulation of NMDA receptors were mainly lack of subunit and synaptic selectivity. The purpose of the present study was to develop a novel strategy to rapidly recognize NMDA subunit 2A (NMDA-2A) ligands from natural products and provide subunit-selective drug candidates for Alzheimer's disease (AD).

methodsThe recombinant NMDA-2A containing a tag of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was expressed in Escherichia coli cells and immobilized on ibrutinib-modified microspheres based on the specific reaction between EGFR and its inhibitor ibrutinib. A novel affinity stationary phase was synthesized to screen NMDA-2A ligands from Gardenia jasminoides Ellis.

resultsThe immobilized receptor column exhibited excellent receptor selectivity and ligand-binding activity. Crocetin was screened by using this method. In a cellular model of AD, the protein level of NMDA-2A was significantly decreased compared with the control group, while treatment with crocetin significantly increased NMDA-2A level in a concentration-dependent manner, confirming that crocetin could bind to NMDA-2A in vitro.

conclusionIn the present study, we developed a reliable method for the rapid identification of NMDA-2A ligands from natural products, which may be used as a platform for new drug discovery to generate high-quality drug candidates.
