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

Histamine receptor, one typical G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), can be activated by histamine and form the most important drug targets involved in allergy and reflux diseases. Here, we report an artificial model to mimic the wettability-induced activation of natural GPCRs via histamine-modulated enhancement of wettability in a bionic nanochannel. The artificial receptor is constructed by introducing key recognition factors in nature, L-lysine modified fluorescein isothiocyanate (L-lysine-FITC), into a conical nanochannel. The conductance of the L-lysine-FITC-modified nanochannel increases with the histamine-induced wettability enhancement due to the various interactions between histamine and L-lysine-FITC molecules including hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions, as well as the proton transfer reaction. This study represents a crucial step towards the design of artificial GPCRs with wettability-induced activation and provides an opportunity to construct artificial models of GPCRs in a non-lipid environment. The developed artificial receptor has great potential application in medicinal chemistry, biosensors, and healthcare systems.
