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

GMP-PNP, a non-hydrolyzable analog of GTP binds tightly to G-protein in the presence of Mg2+, so that the binding is stable even after exhaustive washings. This property was exploited to prepare membrane samples of rat brain where G-protein GTP-binding sites were saturated with GMP-PNP. Experiments carried out with these membranes showed that GTP, GMP-PNP, GDP-S and GMP (1 mM) inhibit the sodium-independent [3H]glutamate binding by 30-40% [F(4,40) = 5.9; p < .001], whereas only GMP-PNP activates adenylate cyclase activity [F(6,42) = 3.56; p < .01]. The inhibition of sodium-independent [3H]glutamate binding occurred in the absence of Mg2+. These findings suggest that guanine nucleotides may inhibit glutamate binding and activate adenylate cyclase through distinct mechanisms by acting on different sites.
