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

Receptor-G protein promiscuity is frequently observed in class A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). In particular, GPCRs can couple with G proteins from different families (Gαs, Gαq/11, Gαi/o, and Gα12/13) or the same family subtypes. The molecular basis underlying the selectivity/promiscuity is not fully revealed. We recently reported the structures of kappa opioid receptor (KOR) in complex with the Gi/o family subtypes [Gαi1, GαoA, Gαz, and Gustducin (Gαg)] determined by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). The structural analysis, in combination with pharmacological studies, provides insights into Gi/o subtype selectivity. Given the conserved sequence identity and activation mechanism between different G protein families, the findings within Gi/o subtypes could be likely extended to other families. Understanding the KOR-Gi/o or GPCR-G protein selectivity will facilitate the development of more precise therapeutics targeting a specific G protein subtype.
