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

Mammalian cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels play crucial roles in visual and olfactory signal transduction. In olfactory sensory neurons, the native CNG channel functions as a heterotetramer consisting of CNGA2, CNGA4, and CNGB1b subunits and is activated by cAMP. Calmodulin (CaM) modulates the activity of the olfactory CNG channel, enabling rapid adaptation to odorants. Here we present cryo-EM structures of the native human olfactory CNGA2/A4/B1b channel in both CaM-bound closed and cAMP-bound open states, elucidating the molecular basis of the 2:1:1 subunit stoichiometry in channel assembly and the asymmetrical channel gating upon cAMP activation. Combining structural and functional analyses with AlphaFold prediction, we define two distinct CaM binding sites (CaM1 and CaM2) on the N- and C-terminal regions of CNGB1b, respectively, shedding light on the molecular mechanism of Ca
