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

Sensory neurons play an essential role in recognizing and responding to detrimental, irritating, and inflammatory stimuli from our surroundings, such as pain, itch, cough, and neurogenic inflammation. The transduction of these physiological signals is chiefly mediated by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and ion channels. The binding of ligands to GPCRs triggers a signaling cascade, recruiting G proteins or β-arrestins, which subsequently interact with ion channels (e.g., GIRK and TRP channels). This interaction leads to the sensitization and activation of these channels, initiating the neuron's protective mechanisms. This review delves into the complex interplay between GPCRs and ion channels that underpin these physiological processes, with a particular focus on the role of structural biology in enhancing our comprehension. Through unraveling the intricacies of the GPCR-ion channel axis, we aim to shed light on the sophisticated intermolecular dynamics within these pivotal membrane protein families, ultimately guiding the development of precise therapeutic interventions.
