Smooth operator(s): dialing up and down neurotransmitter responses by G-protein regulators.
Review in Trends in cell biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are essential mediators of neuromodulation and prominent pharmacological targets. While activation of heterotrimeric G-proteins (Gαβɣ) by GPCRs is essential in this process, much less is known about the postreceptor mechanisms that influence G-protein activity. Neurons express G-protein regulators that shape the amplitude and kinetics of GPCR-mediated synaptic responses. Although many of these operate by directly altering how G-proteins handle guanine-nucleotides enzymatically, recent discoveries have revealed alternative mechanisms by which GPCR-stimulated G-protein responses are modulated at the synapse. In this review, we cover the molecular basis for, and consequences of, the action of two G-protein regulators that do not affect the enzymatic activity of G-proteins directly: Gα inhibitory interacting protein (GINIP), which binds active Gα subunits, and potassium channel tetramerization domain-containing 12 (KCTD12), which binds active Gβγ subunits.
