Membrane receptor for odour-binding proteins.
Article in The Biochemical journal, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Specific binding of 125I-labelled bovine odour-binding protein (OBP) to isolated membranes from nasal mucosa was demonstrated. The interaction reached equilibrium within 30 min at 37 degrees C and was reversible. A Scatchard analysis of the equilibrium binding revealed a single population of binding sites, with the calculated equilibrium dissociation constant and maximum number of binding sites being 2.25 +/- 0.5 microM and 18.5 +/- 2 pmol/mg of membrane protein respectively (n = 2). Receptor activity was decreased on digestion by trypsin, proteinase K or endoglycosidase H, was heat labile and was sensitive to thiol-group-specific reagents. With the exception of rat and mouse major urinary proteins, which exhibit a high degree of structural similarity with OBP and bind similar ligands, other members of the lipocalin family, such as retinol-binding protein and beta-lactoglobulin, failed to inhibit the binding of 125I-labelled OBP to its receptor. The receptor seems not to be restricted to olfactory tissues, as it was detected in a variety of other tissues. This suggests that OBP is unlikely to play a role only in olfactory signal transduction. It might have a much broader role within the body; possibilities include a role in detoxification or signalling.
