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

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the largest family of membrane proteins, serve as primary targets for over 30% of FDA-approved drugs. While signaling bias among Gα subtypes is well characterized, emerging evidence highlights that Gβγ subtypes govern the coupling of the Gα heterotrimer to GPCRs. However, whether Gβγ subtype selectivity depends on the receptor or the Gα subunit and the underlying mechanism remain unresolved. Here, we focused on Gαq-coupled GPCRs and investigated Gβγ preferences using bioluminescence resonance energy transfer assays to assess Gβγ selectivity along with Gαq-GPCR coupling and calcium flux assays to measure downstream Ca
