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

The properties of a potentiator are typically evaluated by measuring its ability to enhance the magnitude of the control response. Analysis of the ability of drugs to potentiate responses from receptor channels takes place in the context of particular models to extract parameters for functional effects. In the often-used coagonist model, the agonist generating control activity and the potentiator enhancing the control activity make additive energetic contributions to stabilize the active state of the receptor. The energetic contributions are fixed and, once known, enable calculation of predicted receptor behavior at any concentration combination of agonist and potentiator. Here, we have examined the applicability of the coagonist model by measuring the relationship between the magnitude of receptor potentiation and the level of background activity. Ternary αβγ GABA
