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

Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (AGPCRs) regulate essential physiological processes through interactions between their ectodomains and adjacent cell surface proteins or extracellular matrix components (ECM). AGPCRs distinctively arrive at the plasma membrane as self-cleaved holoreceptors with noncovalently associated N-terminal (NTF) and C-terminal fragments (CTF). Canonical AGPCR signaling proceeds in three sequential steps; NTF adhesive domains bind to ligands, extracellular shear force mediates NTF and CTF dissociation, a tethered peptide agonist (TA) is exposed and binds to the CTF orthosteric site to stabilize the active state receptor. Depending on the cellular context, both autoproteolysis-deficient and perhaps, a few cleavage-capable AGPCRs may be activated without NTF dissociation or the action of the TA. To discriminate the functional consequences of these signaling modes in vivo, we created a cleavage-deficient,
