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 excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate plays important roles in the mammalian brain, ranging from synaptic plasticity to memory. To mediate these functions, glutamate activates two types of receptors: ligand-gated channels and metabotropic receptors coupled to G-proteins. Both families of glutamate receptors share no sequence homology and possess original structural features compared with other ligand-gated channels and G-protein-coupled receptors, respectively. Glutamate-gated receptor-channel subunits have already been characterized in invertebrates. Here we report the cloning and functional characterization of an invertebrate metabotropic glutamate receptor (DmGluRA) isolated from Drosophila melanogaster. This receptor displays 45 and 43% amino acid sequence identity with its mammalian homologs mGluR3 and mGluR2, respectively. Moreover, its pharmacology and transduction mechanisms are surprisingly similar to those of mGluR2 and mGluR3. DmGluRA is expressed in the CNS of the late embryo. These results indicate that the original structural features of both glutamate receptor types are conserved from insects to mammals and suggest that the functions of these receptors have been highly conserved during evolution.
