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

We examine the role of higher-order transient structures (HOTS) in M2R regulation of GIRK channels. Electron microscopic membrane protein location maps show that both proteins form HOTS that exhibit a statistical bias to be near each other. Theoretical calculations and electrophysiological measurements suggest that channel activity is isolated near larger M2R HOTS. By invoking weak interactions that permit transient binding of M2R to M2R and GIRK to GIRK (
