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

Bitter taste receptors belong to the class A of the GPCR superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors. Bitter taste receptors have different numbers and structures in different species, and an analysis of their structures facilitates the discovery and development of their agonists and inhibitors. In addition, bitter taste receptors differ in expression between species and tissues, which corresponds to the diversity and specificity of their mechanisms of action. At present, bitter taste receptors also have a wide range of effects on the treatment of diseases, including gastrointestinal, airway, heart, orthopedic, urinary disease, and cancer. Therefore, this article reviewed the structure, expression, function, and mechanism of bitter taste receptors, in order to develop more bitter taste receptors and bitter ligands for treatment, and provide some new ideas and goals for the clinical use of bitter drugs.
