Light intensity-dependent arrestin switching for inactivation of a light-sensitive GPCR, bistable opsin.

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
Inactivation of most light-sensitive G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) opsins involves arrestin binding to terminate cell responses. In the zebrafish pineal organ, UV sensitive parapinopsin 1 (PP1)-expressing cells exhibit color opponency through photoequilibria between two photo-interconvertible states of PP1. The amount of visible light-sensitive active states (photoproducts) is crucial for generating color opponency, raising questions about how and what arrestins are involved in PP1 inactivation. Here, we found two arrestins, Arr3a and Sagb competitively bind to PP1. Photoresponse analyses of the PP1 cells using gene-knockdown larvae revealed Arr3a-involved quick inactivation was switched to Sagb-involved moderate inactivation depending on increased light intensity. Furthermore, we found photoregeneration of PP1 facilitates the dissociation of the PP1-arrestin complex, allowing for continuous arrestin supply in the photoequilibria under strong light. These regulations for the active photoproduct amounts of PP1 may help maintain appropriate color opponency. The current findings provide insight into the dynamics of GPCR inactivation involving multiple arrestins.
