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

Bestrophin-1 (Best1) is an anion channel genetically linked to vision-threatening retinal degenerative channelopathies. Here, we identify interactions between Best1 and both isoforms of glutamic acid decarboxylases (GAD65 and GAD67), elucidate the distinctive influences of GAD65 and GAD67 on Best1's permeability to various anions/neurotransmitters, discover the functionality of Best1 as a γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A receptor, and solve the structure of GABA-bound Best1. GAD65 and GAD67 both promote Best1-mediated Cl
