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

The activity of G protein-coupled receptors has been generally linked to dynamically interconverting structural and functional states and the process of activation was proposed to be controlled by an interconnecting network of conformational switches in the transmembrane domain. However, it is yet to be uncovered how ligands with different extent of functional effect exert their actions. According to our recent hypothesis, the transmission of the external stimulus is accompanied by the shift of macroscopic polarization in the transmembrane domain, furnished by concerted movements of conserved polar amino acids and the rearrangement of polar species. Previously, we have examined the μ-opioid, β
